Pakistan Cricketers Heartfelt Moment with Rashid Khan

Pakistan cricket team once again lived up to the game’s “gentleman’s” moniker by sharing a touching moment with Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan following the tri‑series opener.

The entire Pakistan squad visited Afghanistan’s dressing room to offer their condolences and Fatiha for Rashid Khan after the passing of his brother. Rashid’s elder brother, Haji Abdul Halim Shinwari, reportedly passed away on August 26, just before the start of the tri‑series.

A video of the heartfelt moment quickly spread on social media, with fans from both countries praising the act of sportsmanship and brotherhood. Pakistan’s visit also highlighted the deep bonds between players that go beyond the fierce rivalry on the field.

Rashid Khan shares a special connection with Pakistani players through the Pakistan Super League. His appearances for Lahore Qalandars have brought him closer to many of Pakistan’s current representatives, including Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Despite the emotion of the occasion, Rashid delivered on the field. After taking a wicket with the ball in his hands, he showcased his batting prowess as well, smashing 39 off 16 balls to offer a brief glimmer of hope in Afghanistan’s chase of Pakistan’s 183‑run target. His efforts were in vain, however, as Afghanistan lost by 39 runs.

The Pakistani players’ gesture is a reminder that, at the end of the day, humanity and compassion matter most. No lesson is greater than this.
