Shahid Afridi: In Pakistan, Virat Kohli will forget the love he has received in India

There are reports doing the rounds that the Indian men’s cricket team will not go to Pakistan next to play Champions Trophy. Now, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has urged team India to come to Pakistan.

“I welcome the Indian team (in Pakistan) and they should come. We’ve always received huge respect and love in our tours of India. In the same way, the Indian team also received love and respect during their tour in 2005. Cricket tours should be kept aside from politics. There is no big politics than India and Pakistan playing against each other in their countries,” Afridi told News24 Sports’ YouTube channel.

He added, “Virat Kohli will forget the love he has received in India when he would play in Pakistan. He has a huge craze in Pakistan and our people like him very much. In fact, he is my favourite player. He has his own class and he shouldn’t have retired from T20Is as because of him T20I looked beautiful.”
