Three Afghan cricketers were tragically killed in a Pakistani airstrike in Paktika province, prompting the Afghanistan Cricket Board to withdraw from an upcoming Tri-Nation T20I series against Pakistan. The attack, which also injured seven others, occurred during a local gathering after the players returned from a friendly match. This incident follows a recent ceasefire breach between the two nations.
