The attacks, coinciding with Ramadan’s end and Eid festivities, transformed jubilation into mourning across the nation.

ACB representatives, headed by CEO Naseeb Khan, toured Kabul Emergency Hospital and Wazir Akbar Khan Hospital. They inquired about patients’ conditions, voiced solidarity, and assured assistance. Social media posts from ACB detailed the emotional exchanges and firm condemnation of the assault.

Test and ODI skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi joined forces with Gulbadin Naib and Qais Ahmad to comfort the injured and their kin. This gesture from the national team highlighted cricket’s role beyond the field in times of crisis.

The board had previously labeled the incident heart-wrenching, noting over 250 injuries alongside the fatalities reported by Taliban officials and media. Stars Rashid Khan and Naveen-ul-Haq echoed demands for probes by the United Nations and human rights bodies.

This tragedy not only scars communities but also amplifies calls for peace. The cricketers’ visit serves as a rallying cry for support, urging global attention to the plight of Afghan civilians caught in crossfire.

]]> Rashid Khan Sidelined for Test; Afghanistan Announce Zimbabwe Squads https://newsanalysisindia.com/sports/rashid-khan-sidelined-for-test-afghanistan-announce-zimbabwe-squads/ Wed, 15 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000 http://newsanalysisindia.local/rashid-khan-sidelined-for-test-afghanistan-announce-zimbabwe-squads/ Afghanistan has unveiled its squads for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe, which includes a one-off Test match and a T20 International series. Notably, star spinner Rashid Khan has been rested for the solitary Test to manage his workload ahead of the T20 World Cup later this year. The selectors have also opted to exclude all-rounder Gulbadin Naib from the T20I squad. The Test match, scheduled for October 20th, will see a team led by Hashmatullah Shahidi, featuring new faces rewarded for strong domestic red-ball performances. Young talents like fast bowler Zia Ur Rahman Sharifi, left-arm spinner Sharafuddin Ashraf, and leg-spinner Khalil Gurbaz have earned call-ups. Shahidullah Kamal, a spin-bowling all-rounder, has been included in both the Test and T20I squads. This Test marks Afghanistan’s second in the format this year and their 12th overall since their debut in 2018, as they continue to build their Test cricket journey.
