Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danesh said two police and one civilian were killed and five people wounded, Reuters reported.

Officials said that a suicide bomber detonated his explosives at a check post leading to Kabul International Cricket Stadium, where the Shpageeza Cricket League match was being held. Initial reports had said that the explosion was at one of gates of the stadium.
