Shahid Afridi: Champions Trophy 2025 is going to be organized on Pakistani soil and Pakistani team is making all efforts to organize it here. But BCCI has refused to send Team India to Pakistan. India may play on a hybrid model in the Champions Trophy. Due to this, a big crisis has been created on the organization of the Champions Trophy. Because the Pakistani team is not ready for the hybrid model and it is almost impossible to hold the Champions Trophy without India.
A change in Afridi’s attitude
Former Pakistan player Shahid Afridi is always known for his flamboyant statements. He has made many absurd statements regarding Kashmir and India. But now his attitude towards the Champions Trophy is loosening and he is talking about a coming together between the two countries. His attitude has changed.
Afridi talked about forgetting differences
Posting on social media platform X, Shahid Afridi wrote that cricket is at a turning point and possibly facing its biggest challenges since the 1970s. Now is the time to forget our differences and unite for sports. If historically divided countries can come together in the spirit of the Olympics, why can’t we do the same for cricket and the Champions Trophy?
I hope to see every Pakistan team for Champions Trophy 2025. Every team will experience our warmth and hospitality. It will take unforgettable memories off the field. Our job as sports managers is to keep the ego in check and focus on his development.
Scored over 8000 runs in ODIs for Pakistan
Shahid Afridi scored 8064 runs in 398 ODI matches for Pakistan team, in which he scored 6 centuries. Apart from this, he also did wonders in bowling and managed to take 395 wickets. He has taken 1416 runs and 98 wickets in 99 T20 internationals. He has also played 27 Test matches for the Pakistan team. His role was always that of a hitter and he was known for his explosive batting when he came down the order.
