β€˜We Have Proof’: Attack Was by Pakistan, ACB Speaks on Tragic Airstrike

ACB

The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has claimed clear evidence pointing to Pakistan as responsible for the airstrike that killed three local cricketers in Urgun district, Afghanistan. The spokesperson, Sayed Naseem Sadaat, revealed that the evidence includes video footage documenting the incident.

Following the tragedy, Afghanistan withdrew its national team from the upcoming Tri-Nation T20I Series in Pakistan. Sadaat’s statement comes days after Pakistan denied involvement in the incident.

The victims, Kabeer, Sibghatullah, and Haroon, were returning home after playing a friendly match in Sharana, Paktika province, when the airstrike occurred on October 17. The ACB described the incident as a massive loss for Afghanistan’s cricketing community.

Call for Global Cricket Solidarity

Sadaat condemned the attack and urged all cricket boards to denounce it, emphasizing that the sport should remain a symbol of peace.
