Sana Mir and Usain Bolt named ambassadors of ICC T20 WC Qualifier 2024
Former Pakistan skipper Sana Mir and eight-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt have been named as the ambassadors of women’s and men’s ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier 2024.
The Afghan government on Wednesday rejected reports that Pakistan handed over 27 Taliban and Haqqani network prisoners to Afghanistan last year.
“Pakistan has not handed over any members of these groups,” an official source was quoted as saying by TOLO News.
This comes after a spokesman for Pakistan’s Foreign Office Mohammad Faisal claimed on Tuesday that Pakistan handed over 27 individuals suspected of having ties to Taliban and Haqqani network to Afghan officials last year.

Faisal said Pakistan continues to push any suspected Afghan Taliban and Haqqani elements with a view to “prevent them from using our soil for any terrorist activity in Afghanistan.”
The suspected insurgents were handed over to Afghanistan in November 2017, he said.
