The attack carried out by Pakistan has evoked tremendous outrage all over Afghanistan, leading to the withdrawal of the country from the upcoming tri-series with Pakistan and Sri Lanka, which was supposed to be held in Lahore and Rawalpindi from November 5 to 29. ACB Withdraws from Tri-Series After Lethal Air Strikes The ACB established that Pakistan's air strikes resulted in multiple civilian casualties, including three youth cricketers named Kabeer, Sibghatullah, and Haroon. Five other civilians were also killed in the same attack. In a statement, the board averred it could not engage in a series organized by a country guilty of killing innocent individuals, among them athletes. The move has now cast a shadow on the future of the tri-nation series as the ACB insists on its position. Rashid Khan also issued a solemn message, declaring his "deep sorrow and solidarity with the families of the victims." The ace all-rounder further stated that no sports obligation can ever outweigh keeping mum against such brutality.

In his words, "This is not just an attack on innocent people; it is an attack on humanity. My heart goes out to the families who have lost their loved ones." The two nations have already lost dozens of lives on each side as their escalating tensions started taking its toll. There were reports that both sides had a limited 48-hour ceasefire that was, however, violated when Pakistan purportedly conducted air strikes on residential areas in Afghanistan's Paktika province, mainly in Argun and Bermal districts along the Durand Line. The Kabul Taliban government has criticized the attacks as an infringement of the truce. The attacks, it is reported, came at a time when both nations were engaging their delegates in peace talks in Doha in a bid to diminish hostilities. The attack has now further complicated the diplomatic crisis between the two neighbors and brought doubt to their future cricketing relations.
