Shahid Afridi, the former captain of Pakistan’s cricket team, has spoken out against the simmering animosity between India and Pakistan by making a strong plea for peace.
Afridi emphasized in a statement that sports should not be used to inflame strife because they cut over national boundaries, religious beliefs, and political ideologies.
Afridi bemoaned the recent disruptions in regional cricket, saying, “Today, the game itself is under attack.” “The IPL has been suspended, the PSL has been relocated to Dubai, and now even stadiums are being targeted.” He was alluding to a reported drone incident that occurred close to Rawalpindi Stadium, which he feels demonstrates how cricket, which was once a unifying factor across nations, is now intertwined.
