Leading actress of Pakistan showbiz industry Kashif Mehmood has blamed former captain Shahid Afridi for the ruin of national cricket.
In a video message released on social media, Kashif Mahmood said, “Only Shahid Afridi has destroyed our cricket.”
Kashif Mehmood said: “The reason for the best batsmen in the Indian cricket team is that they made Sunil Gavaskar his godfather, then Tendulkar and Virat Kohli became famous batsmen, thus there are best batsmen in the Indian cricket team in the world so far.
The actor said, “We made Imran Khan our fast bowler icon and so far Pakistan has the best fast bowlers even in good and bad conditions.”
Criticizing Shahid Afridi, he said, “We have made Shahid Afridi a hero in the last 20 years and if we had hoped with him, if Shahid Afridi left, we would win this match.”
In his video message, Kashif Mahmood said, “If cricket doesn’t work, we should have made Inzamam-ul-Haq, Younis Khan and Mohammad Yousaf our heroes.”
Kashif Mahmood also said that “I am not against Shahid Afridi, nor have I ever met him but I will say that he may be a good man but he is not the best cricketer.”
The actor added, “In our club cricket, no child’s bat is straight, everyone wants to become Shahid Afridi by hitting three or four sixes in an over.”
Sharing the video on Twitter, Kashif Mehmood wrote, “After the devastation of cricket, now Shahid Afridi is becoming a philosopher of politics, exposing Imran Khan’s mistakes.”
He further wrote that “Afridi Sahib wise says that the work suits in the hands of the one skilled to do it, you have not known to play cricket yet, politics out of your control. “
