The International Cricket Council (ICC) issued a statement expressing condolence for the deaths of three Afghan cricketers in an aerial strike in Afghanistan’s Paktika province. Pakistani Information Minister Ata Tarar condemned the ICC’s move as “selective, biased and premature,” accusing it of endorsing allegations of a Pakistani attack without independent verification. He asserted Pakistan has been a long-time victim of cross-border terrorism and urged the ICC to correct its statement and uphold neutrality in sports governance.
