The Indian National Congress (INC) has announced its plans to launch a month-and-a-half-long campaign in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22. The purpose of the campaign is to demand the restoration of statehood and to further the “Save the Constitution” movement. With the recent appointment of Syed Naseer Hussain as the new J&K in-charge, the party hopes to regain its lost support in the Union Territory. This campaign comes at a crucial time, as former supporters of the Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad have recently dissolved their party, raising questions about their political future. The Congress hopes to use this opportunity to highlight the BJP's failures in empowering elected governments and its betrayal over statehood.
In a clash between Afghanistan and England in the ICC Champions Trophy, Afghanistan's Ibrahim Zadran made history with his impressive score of 177 runs, helping his team reach a massive total of 325 for 7. Zadran also shared crucial partnerships with skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi, Azmatullah Omarzai, and Mohammad Nabi. Despite a strong effort from England's Jofra Archer, Afghanistan's dominant performance proved too much for the opposition. With this win, Afghanistan solidifies their spot in the tournament as a formidable team to watch out for.
Legendary Afghan cricketer Mohammad Nabi has decided to put his retirement plans on hold in order to fulfill his dream of playing international cricket alongside his teenage son, Hassan Eisakhil. Nabi, who had earlier announced his retirement from ODIs after the 2025 Champions Trophy, was instrumental in Afghanistan's recent victory against South Africa, taking two crucial wickets. The 40-year-old veteran has played a total of 305 international matches for his country and is actively involved in the franchise T20 circuit.
The upcoming edition of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) will see Pakistani fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi make his debut for the defending champions Fortune Barishal.

Tashinga Musekiwa's incredible performance in the final over of the match helped Zimbabwe secure a thrilling four-wicket victory over Afghanistan in the first T20 of the three-match series. The all-rounder's 11 runs off the last over, including a crucial four, sealed the win for the hosts after a strong batting display from Afghanistan. Despite a valiant effort from Afghan batsmen Karim Janat and Mohammad Nabi, Zimbabwe's tight bowling and Musekiwa's heroics proved to be too much for the visitors, marking only the second T20 triumph for Zimbabwe over Afghanistan in their history.
In an unexpected move, Tara Chand, a former Deputy Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, has criticized the Congress for resigning in support of Ghulam Nabi Azad, stating that it was a "blunder". He also expressed his support for Surinder Choudhary, a former PDP and BJP member who was chosen as deputy chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir. Other former politicians, including Muzaffar Hussain Baig and Kavinder Gupta, have also shared their thoughts on the current political situation in the state.
Bangladesh, led by skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto, were looking comfortable in their chase of a modest total of 235 runs against Afghanistan until Allah Ghazanfar's bowling onslaught. He took six wickets for just 26 runs, including a hat-trick, to lead his team to a 1-0 lead in the series. This was also Bangladesh's eighth consecutive loss in international cricket. Meanwhile, Afghanistan's Mohammad Nabi and Hashamtullah Shahidi's partnership helped their team recover from a precarious situation at 71/5 and post a competitive total.
In a dominant performance, Afghanistan crushed Bangladesh by 92 runs in the first ODI in Sharjah. Mohammad Nabi's brilliant 84 and Allah Ghazanfar's six-wicket haul guided Afghanistan to victory. Sharjah, the venue for this match, also made history by becoming the first venue to host 300 men's international matches. Despite a strong start from Bangladesh, they collapsed in the face of Nabi and Ghazanfar's performances.
