Afghanistan national cricket team captain Rashid Khan has strongly condemned the Pakistani army’s airstrike on domestic cricket players and civilians in Paktika, calling it a barbaric act.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board said last night, October 17, that local cricket players in Paktika’s Argoon district had come to the Paktika capital, Sharana, to participate in a regional match yesterday afternoon. After the match, they returned to Argoon district. They were the victims of the Pakistani attack.
Rashid Khan added that these cricket players were dreaming of their hopes and dreams; but they were the victims of this attack and their hopes were shattered.
Khan also supported the Afghanistan Cricket Board’s decision to cancel its matches in the tri-series between Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan in late November.
It should be noted that 8 people, including three players named Kabir, Sibghatullah and Haroon from the Arghun district, were killed in this incident, and 7 others were injured.
It should be noted that the Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sri Lanka tri-series was scheduled to be held in late November.
