The all-rounder, who has created a revolution of sorts in his nation and is reportedly the nation’s highest-paid player, has said he also plans to launch a fundraising campaign to support those affected by the tragedy.
“I learned with great sadness about the tragic consequences of the earthquake that struck the western provinces (Herat, Farah, and Badghis) of Afghanistan,” he wrote on Instagram and X.
