Best bowling team.” Akhtar’s response also went viral.

Shahid Afridi slams Shami’s comment

“We are cricketers, we are ambassadors and role models. We should try to end all of this. We are neighbors. Aisi cheezein nahi honi chahiye jisse nafrat faile logo ke beech me. Agar ham hi aisa karenge to aam aadmi se ham kya ummeed rakhenge (We shouldn’t do things that cultivate hate. If do such things, what can we expect from others). Our relationships improve with sports. We want to play with them, see them play in Pakistan,” Afridi said during the discussion with Saama TV

“Even if you are retired, you shouldn’t do this. But you are a part of the current team, you should avoid such things,” he added.
