Posting on X, Afridi stressed on the fact that Pakistan had repeatedly toured India despite strained relations between the two nations, particularly since the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
ICC T20 World Cup ambassador Shahid Afridi in an exclusive column in ICC said that Afghanistan can win the World Cup and it shouldn't come as a surprise if Rashid Khan's side manage to go all the way.
Afridi said that Babar missed out on a chance to do the honourable thing when the selectors approached him to return as the white-ball captain ahead of the T20 World Cup.
“He knows many things and so do I, but we cannot talk openly. I will speak openly after the World Cup, our people themselves have spoiled this unit.”
Pakistan legend Shahid Afridi is excited that the American public will witness cricket’s equivalent of the Super Bowl in New York on Sunday when Pakistan take on archrivals India in a blockbuster T20 World Cup encounter.

Afridi is synonymous with Pakistan's most memorable moments in T20 World Cup history.
Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi said that his son-in-law Shaheen Shah Afridi deserves to be given enough time to prove his credentials as the T20I captain of the national team.

Mercurial, brilliant, aggressive, dominant, vulnerable, frustrating and unfortunately for Pakistan an underachiever, it is safe to say cricket never has and never will witness another Shahid Afridi.
Young by age and cricketing experience, Soumya Sarkar announced his arrival by smashing a scintillating century in his tenth innings during the third and final game of the three-match ODI series against Pakistan.
After a whitewash in the ODIs, the confidence will propel Bangladesh against the clearly inexperienced Pakistan team. And that is why, Tigers fans can bet on a win in the T20 match on Friday.
