Former and current Pakistani cricketers expressed grief on the passing away of Bilquis Bano Edhi at the age of 74.

She was the wife of the country’s prominent humanitarian and philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi.

Due to her worsening condition, she was shifted to a private hospital, according to a spokesperson of the Edhi Foundation.

All-format skipper Babar Azam shared grief upon her death.

On his official Twitter handle, he tweeted: “We have lost an amazing soul, a mother to thousands and a proper role model. May her unmatched legacy lives on and the hope to thousands remain as in her lifetime. Salute and respect.”
