Shahid Afridi has once again spewed poison while tweeting. He tweeted- ‘When there was friendly behavior between players from both the sides in the last 12 months, which has created a good feel-good factor in 2 countries, BCCI secretary should not make this statement on the eve of T20 World Cup match. Should give? Cricket in India shows the lack of experience in administration.

Apart from Afridi, former opener Saeed Anwar also expressed his anger by tweeting. He tweeted and said, ‘If all international teams and international cricketers tour Pakistan, then what is the problem with BCCI. If BCCI is demanding that the Asia Cup 2023 be played at a neutral venue, then next year’s World Cup in India should also be played at a neutral venue.
When all international teams and international cricketers come to Pakistan for @OfficialPSLwhat is @BCCI‘s problem. If BCCI is willing to go to a neutral venue, then @TheRealPCB should also be willing to go to a neutral venue for the WC in India next year.#PAKvIND #cricket
