Shahid Afridi, the seasoned all-rounder and former captain of Pakistan, has finally responded to Indian superstar batsman Virat Kohli’s comments about playing in Pakistan.
“I expected Virat making such a statement. Whether he plays for the Indian team or in the Pakistan Super League (PSL), I welcome Kohli,” Shahid Afridi remarked on Saturday during a tape ball event in Karachi.
Afridi’s statements are in reference to Kohli’s statement that he expects to visit Pakistan “soon” in a conversation with Pakistani climber Shehroze Kashif.
“Send my best wishes to your entire family and circle of friends. In the footage, Kohli is heard stating, “Hopefully, we [will] visit Pakistan soon [as] everyone has started visiting now.”
Due to the uproar that followed and in light of his personal connections in the neighboring countries, Kashif has subsequently removed the 2022 video.
