At least three Afghan cricketers, Kabeer, Sibghatullah, and Haroon, were killed in a Pakistani airstrike in Paktika province. Kabeer, a young cricketer from Urgun district, was considered a promising talent in domestic cricket. Meanwhile, 19-year-old Haroon was a right-handed batter from Kabul, having played in List A, T20 and first-class matches. Sibghatullah, too, was a young, promising talent.
