Tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan escalated recently after reports emerged of Pakistani airstrikes killing multiple Afghan civilians, including three young domestic cricketers. The strikes, carried out in Paktika, also left four additional players injured, all of whom were participating at the club level.

In response to the tragic incident, the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) announced the withdrawal of its team from the upcoming tri-nation T20 series with Pakistan and Sri Lanka, originally scheduled for November. The board expressed deep sorrow over the loss, calling it a major blow to the country’s sports sector, particularly cricket.

Several Afghanistan cricketers, including Rashid Khan, shared their condolences on social media, expressing grief over the deaths of their fellow players and highlighting the broader human cost of the military conflict.

The tragic events have cast serious doubts on the future of the tri-series, further straining already tense relations between the two neighboring countries. The situation underscores the impact of ongoing cross-border conflicts on sports and civilian life in the region.
