The latest clashes came as militancy and counter-militancy traditionally gets momentum in spring and summer commonly known as fighting season in Afghanistan.
Qadir, who would have turned 64 on September 15, died of cardiac arrest in his hometown of Lahore on Friday. He was having dinner when the cardiac arrest happened. He died on his way to the hospital.
Cricket experts, critics, writers and commentators alike believe that Qadir’s biggest achievement was how he became successful as a wrist spinner in an era which was dominated by fast bowlers.
The leg spinner enjoyed an illustrious career with the Pakistan Cricket team. He went on to feature in 67 Test matches and 104 ODIs and amassed a total of 368 wickets in his international career.
