Shahid Afridi said that India are not being the ambassadors of progressive attitude. He also pointed out that if India didn't want to play, they should have said it earlier and that they also had practice sessions before they pulled out at the last moment.
India Champions were all set to clash with Pakistan Champions in the World Championship of Legends 2025 clash at the Edgbaston in Birmingham on July 20. But the match got cancelled after several of the Indian cricketers including the likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Harbhajan Singh and others refused to play against Pakistan based on national interests. When Shahid Afridi was asked about it, he said that he is there to play cricket and also pointed to the team owner beside him indicating that he has contracted them to play cricket. He added 'Siyasat ko hamesha cricket se dur rakhna chahiye' (Politics should be kept afar from cricket). He also pointed out that if India didn't want to play, they should have said it earlier and that they also had practice sessions. Afridi ended the conversation by shrugging his shoulders.
