The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) released a statement in the wake of the attack saying "no agreement of friendly matches is possible between both parties." "In light of the findings of security services and calls by the Afghan nation, the ACB hereby cancel all kinds of cricket matches agreement with the Pakistan Cricket Board," the statement added. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) rejected the ACB's statement on Thursday, describing the allegations as "baseless" and "irresponsible" and accusing the rival board of "playing politics". "The PCB strongly rejects the baseless allegations levelled by Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) in the wake of the tragic Kabul blast," the PCB said on its website. Afghanistan and Pakistan were provisionally scheduled to play a Twenty20 match in Kabul later this year, followed by a match in Pakistan.
