"Pakistan Is Ready To...": Shahid Afridi On Jay Shah's 'Security Concern' Comment

While replying to the concern of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah regarding the issue of "security" in Pakistan, former captain Shahid Afridi has sent out a reminder. It is worth noting that Asia Cup 2023 which was earlier slated to take place entirely in Pakistan is now being co-hosted by the country after nine matches of the tournament were moved out to Sri Lanka. "All the full members, media rights holders, and in-stadia rights holders were initially hesitant to commit to hosting the entire tournament in Pakistan. This reluctance stemmed from concerns related to the security and economic situation prevailing in the country," said Shah.

For Irfan, Rahul and Ishan can only feature in the same XI together if a player in the top-order is injured. Else, only one of them can get into the team as they are competing for the same spot. As there remain those who feel Ishan should be preferred over Rahul owing to his exemplary form, Irfan has cautioned the Indian team management against overlooking the Karnataka batter's numbers.
