Kabul, March 19: Representatives from the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) and players from the national cricket team visited a hospital in Kabul where victims of a recent airstrike by Pakistan were being treated. Reports indicate that approximately 400 people lost their lives in the attack, with around 250 others injured.
During their visit, ACB officials and team members met with the injured to express their support and concern. The ACB shared photos on social media, stating, “ACB officials and members of the Afghanistan cricket team met with those injured in the recent airstrike by the Pakistani military at Kabul Emergency and Wazir Akbar Khan Hospital. Led by CEO Naseeb Khan, they inquired about the health of the victims, condemned the attack, and expressed their condolences. They assured that assistance would be arranged and appealed for support during this challenging time.”
Previously, the board had strongly condemned the Pakistani airstrike, which, according to Taliban officials and local media, resulted in nearly 400 fatalities and at least 250 injuries. Describing the tragic event as heart-wrenching, the board noted that what should have been a time of celebration during Ramadan and before Eid has turned into sorrow for many Afghan families.
Among the players who visited the hospital were ODI and Test captain Hashmatullah Shahidi, all-rounder Gulbadin Naib, and Qais Ahmad. The cricketers showed solidarity with the injured and their families.
Afghan cricketers Rashid Khan and Naveen-ul-Haq also condemned the attacks, urging the United Nations and the Human Rights Commission to investigate and take action against those responsible.
