8 Afghan Cricketers Killed as Pakistan Launches Airstrikes on Paktika Amid Ceasefire Pakistan’s airstrikes kill 8 Afghan cricketers and civilians in Paktika, breaching ceasefire hours before crucial Doha peace talks.

 

New Delhi: In a tragic development, eight Afghan club-level cricket players have been killed and four others injured in Pakistani airstrikes on Paktika province, credible sources within the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) confirmed to the media.  

According to officials, the players had returned to Argun district from Sharana, the provincial capital, after participating in a local tournament. They were attending a dinner gathering when the area was bombed by the Pakistani military regime.

Sources at the ACB described the incident as a devastating loss to Afghanistan’s local cricket community, calling the victims “young talents who represented the spirit of Afghan cricket at the grassroots level.”

Now it's fair game for Afguns to target Pawki cricketers.

They will keep denying reality rather than acknowledge that other countries do value their citizens' lives.

Tragic news. Pak is a rogue state that makes even Taliban look sane. 

 

Killing cricketers via airstrikes, grounds for banning from ICC. But does nepo Shah have it in him?

Such a tragic news. Younger cricketers lost their lives and the usual suspects want to turn it into bjp/bcci bashing thread. There are so many other threads where it could be done. Maybe this thread could be spared.
