Shahid Afridi, a former captain of the Pakistan Cricket Team, voiced his view on Thursday, saying that if the Asia Cup is not hosted in Pakistan, Pakistan should boycott it. According to Afridi, the Indian Cricket Board has considerable financial resources that it employs to exert influence over other cricket bodies.
He said that Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka are making feeble justifications for Pakistan’s hybrid approach. Professional cricketers shouldn’t be frightened about playing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE)’s scorching weather, according to Afridi.
