Shadab Khan’s phupo passed just a few days before the World Cup got underway. Khan was the national team’s vice-captain.
The Pakistani squad is in India to compete in the World Cup, and in their opening exhibition game yesterday against New Zealand, the Kiwis trounced the Shaheens by a margin of five wickets.
On October 6, Pakistan will play Netherlands in the tournament’s opening encounter. But even before that, Shadab Khan has received some extremely terrible news.
The vice-captain of the national team posted a statement on social media requesting everyone to pray for Phaphu’s forgiveness after only learning of his passing.
