Afghan cricketer Allah Ghazanfar condemned a Pakistan strike on a Kabul hospital and urged India and the global community to step in ahead of IPL 2026.
Allah Mohammad Ghazanfar has called for global attention after a Pakistan strike hit a rehabilitation hospital in Kabul. Over 400 people are reported to be deceased. He highlighted the impact of rising tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The facility supported physical and mental recovery for civilians. Ghazanfar said around 1 to 2 thousand patients stayed at the centre. Thousands of families depended on its services. He stressed that many patients could not afford treatment. The attack affected vulnerable people seeking medical support. The incident occurred amid worsening conflict near the Durand Line. Ghazanfar questioned the intent behind targeting civilian locations.
“People used to go for physical and mental recovery, to get their lives back on track. The people there don’t have money for treatment. And now, they’ve targeted that place as well; they’ve martyred those people. This is not acceptable to the people of Afghanistan,” Ghazanfar said.

“Everyone knows Afghanistan’s history. If that history repeats itself, it will be very bad for Pakistan,” he added.
“India is Our Close Friend,” says Ghazanfar
The young cricketer also urged regional and global support to prevent further violence. He described India as a close friend and called for dialogue on ongoing issues.
“India is our close friend. We want to engage with them, to talk about these issues, so that things like this don’t happen. This is our request to other countries too. This is not good for the people. Right now, the world is going through many challenges, and this is not good for anyone,” he said.
Ghazanfar will represent the Mumbai Indians in the upcoming Indian Premier League 2026 season.
