Saw people picking food from garbage in India and eating it: Shahid Afridi

The former captain of the national team, Shahid Afridi, has taken a dig at former Indian captain Kapil Dev, who opposed Shoaib Akhtar’s suggestion of a Pakistan-India match for the victims of the corona virus, and said that because of poverty in India, I have treated people in garbage. I have seen him pick and eat food.

Recently, Shoaib Akhtar suggested on his YouTube channel that India-Pakistan series should be organized to help the people affected by Corona virus in Pakistan and India, because the virus has caused a lot of damage and this series. It will also help financially.

However, Kapil Dev, captain of the 1983 World Cup-winning Indian team, said that we don’t need to collect money because we have a lot and we need to support government initiatives at the moment.

Kapil said that the Indian Cricket Board has already given 51 crore rupees in aid and if needed, they can give more money, the situation does not seem to be improving immediately and the purpose of organizing the cricket match is not there. Players’ lives are at risk and we don’t need to put our players at risk.

Shahid Afridi while talking to reporters through video link from Kohat said that while criticizing former Indian captain Kapil Dev, he said that corona virus is a common enemy and we need unity to defeat this enemy.

He said that I support Shoaib Akhtar’s proposal but Modi government will never support Pakistan-India cricket while I also don’t understand why Kapil Dev said that we should collect funds together with Pakistan. No need to.

Shahid Afridi said that no one should talk like this in the time of crisis, I have seen people in India picking food from garbage and I think we all should face a common enemy like Corona. .

Shahid Afridi, who had the honor of leading Pakistan in the 2011 World Cup, said that it is very stupid for the Indian media to blame Pakistan for the spread of the corona virus.

The former cricketer, who was present for the distribution of rations in Chitral and Kohat, further said that Prime Minister Imran Khan should work on a single agenda by giving all political parties and their leaders the fight against coronavirus.

As a leader and Prime Minister Imran Khan should invite all political parties so that everyone is on the same page in the fight against Corona, we have to understand that many people will face difficulties in getting ration in the coming days. It may have to be done and it may become a bigger problem than Corona, so the government should combine all the political parties and NGOs and give them responsibilities in specific areas so that the work can be done under a regular system.

Shahid Afridi said that after the distribution of rations, the member of the National Assembly of Chitral spoke against him, and he was disappointed and I spoke to the Amir of Jamaat-e-Islami, Sirajul Haque, regarding this member of the National Assembly.

“Member of National Assembly from Chitral spoke against Shahid Afridi Foundation after distribution of ration even though we took all possible precautions while distributing ration”.

On this occasion, the former captain of the national team requested the Prime Minister to resume departmental cricket.

He said that I myself have openly assessed that domestic cricket in Pakistan is taken care of by departments and a lot of money is also spent which benefits both the game and the cricketers.

He requested the Prime Minister to restore the department cricket as it is the need of the hour while also requested the Pakistan Cricket Board to help the needy cricketers in this crisis.

Shahid Afridi criticized the PCB for rigorous training and regular fitness tests, saying that several players have complained to him that they are suffering from injuries.

He said, “I don’t understand why PCB is conducting so many fitness tests, what is the need for fitness tests every 20-30 days because many key players are suffering from knee injuries due to overtraining.” And due to this, Pakistan may face difficulties in the T20 World Cup.

The former captain said that the head coach and chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq should take notice of this and ask the trainers to make a separate fitness plan for each player as each player has a different size.

On this occasion, he once again demanded a permanent ban on the players who have harmed the reputation of the country through spot-fixing.

Shahid Afridi said that we have not taken any steps to make an example of the notorious players and the board should have the same policy for all the players, some players are playing for Pakistan after the ban while some are restricted to domestic cricket only. is kept
