Emrit, who plays   for the boost defenders in the afghan T/20 League was on the field in the second match of a doubleheader against MIS Ainak-knights when the blast occurred.

The 36 year old all-rounder says   he is not taking any chances with his life and will be returning home as soon possible.

Emrit  added  that  he  will  leave  tomorrow  as  soon  as  he  gets  a  flight  out  of  the  country.

Emrit, recently competed for the Guyana amazon warriors in the Caribbean premier league and has plied his trade in numerous cricket leagues around the world including in Bangladesh, Pakistan and Hong Kong.

The other overseas players at the ground  at  the  time  of  the  blast  were Emrit’s teammates Cameron Delport  and Morne van Wyk of South Africa……..as well as   the Zimbabwean trio of Vusi Sibanda, Rikandar raza and Ryan Burl.

The match was stopped briefly after the  blast  but once the Afghanistan government-appointed security gave the clearance, it resumed.
