'We were getting threats from India but still we went there': Afridi says 'educated nations' should not follow India
Previous chief Shahid Afridi has offered a striking expression saying that since one nation is after Pakistan, other 'taught countries' ought not misstep the same way.
Previous commander Shahid Afridi is frustrated at New Zealand and England pulling out of their separate voyages through Pakistan and feels what the BlackCaps have done is 'unpardonable'. New Zealand were booked to play restricted overs series in Pakistan, yet hours before the primary ODI in Rawalpindi on September 17, following reports of a security danger, New Zealand canceled their whole visit.
New Zealand's draw out had a gradually expanding influence as only a couple of days after the fact, the England cricket crew selected to blacklist their people's visit through Pakistan also. Afridi feels that as opposed to canceling the whole visit, New Zealand ought to have investigated the matter as a great deal of insurance was being taken by Pakistan to organize a protected and appropriate cricket series.
"We as a whole realize that there is a tremendous measure of examination with regards to orchestrating visits. Legitimate examinations are led by the security individuals from the visiting country. The courses are characterized and just when the interaction is finished, that is the point at which the groups are given the green sign to visit the country," Afridi disclosed to Cricket Pakistan.
"New Zealand cricketers are adored in Pakistan and for them to accomplish something like this is unpardonable. In case there was any likely danger, they ought to have been imparted to the PCB and sat tight for Pakistan's security powers to survey the circumstance."
Afridi responded to reports that an email which provoked New Zealand to cancel the visit had begun from India. On Wednesday, Pakistan's data serve Fawad Chaudhry had guaranteed that the 'email was produced from India through a VPN showing the area of Singapore'. To this, Afridi offered an intense expression saying that since one nation is after Pakistan, other 'taught countries' ought not misstep the same way.
"Assuming you need to take a gander at the master plan, I think we need to take a choice which shows the world that we are likewise a nation and we have our pride. It's alright in the event that one nation is behind us however I don't figure different nations ought to likewise misstep the same way. They are totally taught countries and ought not follow India," Afridi added.
"All things being equal, cricket ought to further develop relations. Circumstance was awful in India. We were getting dangers. Our board requested that we go and we went there. Additionally, during Covid-19, the circumstance that there was in England, the cricket went on. Assuming you trust bogus messages and drop visits, I trust you are offering them grain to win. This isn't the correct way."
