Former Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria has slammed the government for the Pahalgam terror attack, which took place in Jammu & Kashmir on April 22. 26 innocent lives were killed as the nation woke to the most devastating terror attack in recent times. Kaneria, known to not mince words, was shocked that Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has not yet spoken on this issue.
The former Pakistan leg spinner took to X to blast Sharif and blamed the nation for this shameful silence on the topic.
If Pakistan truly has no role in the Pahalgam terror attack, why hasn’t Prime Minister @CMShehbaz condemned it yet? Why are your forces suddenly on high alert? Because deep down, you know the truth — you’re sheltering and nurturing terrorists. Shame on you. Kaneria wrote.

Notably, BCCI Vice-President Rajiv Shukla has stated that India won't play any bilateral series with Pakistan soon. ICC was planning a bilateral all-format series between these two cricketing teams, as these two teams meet only during ICC events. The last time India played a bilateral series against Pakistan was in 2012.

“We are with the victims, and we condemn it. Whatever our government will say, we will do. We don't play with Pakistan in bilateral series because of the government's stand. And we will not play with Pakistan in bilaterals, going forward. But when it comes to ICC events, we play due to ICC engagement. ICC is also aware whatever is happening, they will do it."
Devajit Saikia, the BCCI secretary, sent his condolences over the Pahalgam terror attack, which resulted in 26 innocent lives being killed and several others injured.
“The cricketing community is deeply shocked and anguished by the tragic loss of innocent lives in the gruesome terror attack at Pahalgam yesterday. On behalf of the BCCI, while condemning this ghastly and cowardly act with the strongest possible words, I extend our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and prayers for the departed souls. In sharing their pain and grief, we stand hand in hand at this hour of tragedy."
