The Afghanistan Cricket Board: Afghanistan have pulled out of a tri-nation series with Pakistan and Sri Lanka next month after three local cricketers were killed in airstrikes carried out by Pakistan in Paktika province, the Afghanistan Cricket Board said on Friday.

The ACB shared a statement on social media, condemning the incident and describing it as "a cowardly attack carried out by the Pakistani regime."
