(Retd) Shuja Khanzada in a most condemnable terrorist suicide bombing on Sunday at his home town, Attock.

In a message to the late Khanzada’s family, Chairman PCB said: "I am deeply distressed at the manner of Khanzada’s death. And I share your grief at this enormous loss”, said the PCB Chairman.
“In his brief but meaningful association with us before, during and immediately after the Zimbabwe series he befriended everyone he came across at the PCB.

The news of his untimely death was indeed a shock for us. We grieve for him”, said PCB COO, Subhan Ahmad in a message to Khanzada’s family.
"The PCB's upper tier management and its entire staff pray to the Almighty to bestow Khanzada’s soul with eternal peace and grant the family and the dear ones the courage and strength to bear this irredeemable loss", said the PCB spokesman.
