This is an incident that has claimed the lives of women, children and budding young cricketers who dreamed of representing their country at the world level for Afghanistan.”

He further wrote, “Targeting civilians is totally immoral and barbaric. It is unjust and illegal. It is clearly a serious violation of human rights and should not be ignored.” “In view of the loss of these innocent lives, I welcome ACB’s decision to withdraw from the upcoming matches against Pakistan. I stand with our people during this difficult time. Our national pride must come first.”
