The news of Abdul Sattar Edhi's passing away was received with great sense of loss and extreme sorrow permeating in Team Pakistan's camp. Chairman PCB, who spent the day with the team here at Hove, along with manager Intikhab Alam and skipper Misbah-ul-Haq, along with each team member as well as support staff have offered their heartfelt condolences at the demise of Pakistan's most prominent philanthropist, a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) spokesman said.
PCB executive committee chairman Najam Sethi and Chief Operating Officer Subhan Ahmad too have expressed deepest sorrow at Edhi's passing away. "Edhi Sahib was one of a kind. I had the honour of knowing him, and I grieve for him much like the millions whose lives were made more bearable because of his munificence. Self-effacing and selfless, Edhi was indeed a great man who had made serving humanity the purpose of his life. His touch was inimitable and it made a great difference to the lives of so many. May the Almighty rest his soul in peace. I offer my heartfelt condolences to his family," Sethi said.
On behalf of Team Pakistan, manager Intikhab Alam and skipper Misbah-ul-Haq conveyed their condolences to Edhi's family. Moreover, Chairman PCB Shaharyar Mohammad Khan and Chief Operating Officer Subhan Ahmad have condoled the sad demise of former Pakistan Test Cricketer and International Umpire Jeved Akhtar who played One Test Match and officiated 18-Test matches and 40-ODIs. He was 75.
The Pakistani cricketing fraternity shares the grief with Javed's family at this difficult time. PCB management is deeply saddened by the loss of Javed Akhtar and their thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time of sorrow. May Allah give his family and loved ones the strength to bear this irreparable loss.
