Another Afghanistan cricketer Mohammad Nabi made a similar appeal for support.
“As an Afghan, I bleed to see where my beloved country is today. Afghanistan descends into Chaos and there has been a substantial rise in calamity and tragedy and is currently in humanitarian crisis,” Nabi, who plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, wrote on his Twitter handle.
“Families are forced to leave their homes behind and head to Kabul with an unknown future, as their homes are being seized. I appeal to the leaders of the world; please don’t let Afghanistan go into chaos. We need your Support. We want Peace,” Nabi further wrote, with hashtags #PeaceforAfghanistan #FreedomforAfghanistan #StopKillingAfghans.

The insurgents in Afghanistan, according to a European Union official, now control 65 per cent of the country after a string of gains as foreign forces pull out.
Both Taliban and Governement officials have confirmed that the Islamist hardliners have captured six provincial capitals in recent days in the north, west and south.
As the situation in Afghanistan continued to turn from bad to worse with intense fighting between Afghan security forces and the Taliban, a total of 50 Indian nationals, including diplomats, left the Mazar-e-Sharif and reached New Delhi on Wednesday.
“A Special flight comprising of 50 Indians landed at New Delhi this morning,” said a senior government official.
