Khan paid condolences to the victims of the Afghanistan earthquake and vowed to donate his match fees and launch a fundraising campaign.

Afghan cricket star Rashid Khan has announced he will donate all his match fees from the 2023 Cricket World Cup in India to support victims of an earthquake in his home country. The Taliban administration says at least 2,445 people have been killed after two earthquakes hit Afghanistan on Saturday.

Janan Sayeeq, spokesman for the Ministry of Disasters, said in a message to Reuters that the toll had risen to 2,445 dead but he revised down the number of injured to "more than 2,000". Earlier, he had said that 9,240 people had been injured. Sayeeq also said 1,320 houses had been damaged or destroyed. The death toll spiked from 500 reported in the morning by the Red Crescent and 16 on Saturday night.
