Vice-captain Muneeba Ali Siddiqui will stand in as the interim skipper in Sana's absence. The entire cricketing world has joined in mourning Fatima Sana's loss, with PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and all-rounder Nida Dar among those who expressed their condolences. It will remain to be seen when Fatima Sana returns to the tournament, and if the personal loss affects her output on the field during the World Cup. As we reflect on her unfortunate situation, here's a look at five cricketers who lost their loved ones during ongoing tournaments. 5. Rashid Khan lost his father Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan lost his father Haji Khalil in December 2018, when he was representing the Adelaide Strikers in Australia's Big Bash League (BBL). Despite the tragedy, the young Afghan leg-spinner made the difficult decision to continue playing, encouraged by his family. The very next day after his father's passing, Rashid took to the field for the Strikers, delivering a remarkable performance against the Sydney Thunder, taking two wickets for 34 runs. 4. Mohammed Siraj's father passed away when pacer was on Australia tour India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj faced a heartbreaking loss during India's tour of Australia in November 2020 when he received the devastating news of his father Mohammed Ghaus' death. Siraj's father had been battling a brief illness back home, and the shocking news left the young pacer emotionally shattered. Despite the tragedy, Siraj decided to remain with his national team in Australia rather than return to Hyderabad, supported by head coach Ravi Shastri. The decision to stay back bore fruit, as the young pacer took five wickets in his debut in the second Test match against the Baggy Greens. 3. Sachin Tendulkar lost father during 1999 WC During the 1999 ICC World Cup, Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar lost his father, Ramesh Tendulkar. The tragic incident forced him to return to India to attend the last rites, and he came to England after the funeral. Despite the personal loss, Tendulkar rejoined the Indian team soon after, determined to honour his father's memory. In his first match back against Kenya, he played one of the most remarkable innings of his career, scoring a century. 2. Virat Kohli lost father during Ranji Trophy In 2006, 17-year-old Virat Kohli suffered the devastating loss of his father, Prem Kohli, who passed away from a heart attack at 3 AM. Just hours after this personal tragedy, the teenager showed maturity beyond his years and made the bold decision to step onto the field to play for Delhi in a crucial Ranji Trophy match against Karnataka. Kohli did not let the tragedy affect his play, as he scored 90 runs to help a struggling Delhi team avoid defeat against the opponents. The batter immediately left the ground after his dismissal to attend his late father's cremation ceremony. 1. Fatima Sana loses father during T20 WC Pakistan captain Fatima Sana will leave the ICC Women's T20 World Cup following the sudden death of her father in Karachi on October 10. The 22-year-old all-rounder, who was leading Pakistan for the first time in a World Cup, will return home to attend the funeral. Sana will likely miss the upcoming Group A game against Australia on Friday, and might also miss the final group game against New Zealand on October 14. Vice-captain Muneeba Ali will step up as interim captain during Sana's absence.
