Pak Airstrikes Kill Afghan Cricketers: Kabul Pulls Out Of T20 Series, Seeks ICC Ban On Pak

This special report focuses on the escalating tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan following deadly Pakistani airstrikes in Paktika province, which killed several civilians including three domestic cricketers. The opposition is using this moment to criticise the government, with one leader stating, 'If there is a spineless and helpless Prime Minister, then blood and water cannot flow together, but terrorism and sports can go together'. In response to the attack, the Afghanistan Cricket Board has withdrawn from the upcoming T20 tri-series with Pakistan and Sri Lanka, a move supported by team captain Rashid Khan. The bulletin also covers correspondent Gaurav Sawant's analysis of wider unrest, including the Pakistan Army's deadly crackdown on protesters and strategic talks between Army Chief Asim Munir and US President Donald Trump.
