"Just Want To Make Money?": Shahid Afridi's Sharp Dig At ICC Over Champions Trophy Row

Former captain Shahid Afridi has advised the PCB to refrain from sending the national team to India for any cricket event, including ICC tournaments, unless India agrees to send its team to Pakistan. Speaking at the Urdu conference at the Karachi Arts Council, Afridi emphasized the need for the Pakistan Cricket Board to adopt a firm stance on cricketing ties with India, asserting that Pakistan must become self-reliant to make strong decisions, particularly regarding participation in ICC events like the Champions Trophy.

If India can't come and play in Pakistan then there is no reason for us to go and play any event in India," he said.

He also opined that the 'Hitman' batting down the order at number six was a wrong move.
