Afghanistan opener Najeeb Tarakai has died from injuries sustained in a road accident, the Afghanistan Cricket Board has said.
The 29-year-old was reportedly hit by a car last week while crossing the road in eastern Nangarhar.
The ACB confirmed his death in a statement on Twitter.
The board posted: "ACB and Afghanistan Cricket Loving Nation mourns the heart breaking and grievous loss of its aggressive opening batsman & a very fine human being Najeeb Tarakai (29) who lost his life to a tragic traffic accident leaving us all shocked.
"May Allah Shower His Mercy on him."
Tarakai had played in one T20I and 12 ODIs for Afghanistan, averaging 47.20 in 24 first-class matches.
