Meanwhile, Robin Uthappa praised the sensational bowling performance of Azmat Omarzay and Rashid Khan, who took three quick wickets, shifting the momentum in Afghanistan's favour in a match against New Zealand. Besides, Dale Steyn shared his excitement about heading to Mozambique, where he looked forward to warm waters and plenty of waves, but without access to TV. Danish Kaneria voiced his concern about forced conversions and abductions as human rights abuses in Pakistan, highlighting the lack of justice for Hindu girl victims and the perpetrators going unpunished.

Such case of forced conversions and abductions are human rights abuses. Unfortunately courts in Pakistan have failed to deliver justice to Hindu girl victims. Meanwhile, perpetrators are set free to carry on such acts. https://t.co/PrkyHB8I6l
