Shahid Afridi Bowls A Googly At Both India And Pakistan, Tells Imran Khan That Pakistan Does Not Need Kashmir
Shahid Afridi
Former captain of Pakistani cricket team, Shahid Afridi, noted that Pakistan should give up its claims on Kashmir, as reported by Financial Express. Addressing a press meet, he said, “Pakistan doesn’t need Kashmir; it is not able to even handle the four provinces it has.”
Afridi, who still participates in various cricketing leagues across the world, however, supported the idea of an independent Kashmir. “Pakistan doesn’t need Kashmir, don’t give it to India as well, let Kashmir become a country. The people dying there should not die; humanity should stay alive. It pains to see people die there,” he added.
This statement from him comes at a time when another former Pakistani cricket captain, Imran Khan, is serving as the Prime Minister of the country.
In 2017, Shahid Afridi took to Twitter, asking the UN (United Nations) to intervene in the Kashmir issue. However, this stance was severely criticised by Indian cricketers like Virat Kohli and Kapil Dev.
