New Delhi: Mohammed Shami made news after England beat Pakistan on Sunday in the T20 World Cup 2022 final at the MCG. Following Pakistan’s defeat, former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Akhtar posted a heartbroken emoji. After Akhtar posted a ‘heartbroken’ emoji after the loss, Shami wrote, “Sorry brother, it’s called Karma.” This convo between the two made noise on social space. Now, it seems like Shahid Afridi has joined in. Shami’s response made noise in Pakistan as it was discussed during a show on Samaa TV.
“We are cricketers, we are ambassadors and role models. We should try to end all of this. We are neighbours. Aisi cheezein nahi honi chahiye jisse nafrat faile logo ke beech me. Agar ham hi aisa karenge to aam aadmi se ham kya ummeed rakhenge (We shouldn’t do things that cultivate hate. If do such things, what can we expect from others). Our relationships improve with sports. We want to play with them, see them play in Pakistan,” Afridi said during the discussion.
“Even if you are retired, you shouldn’t do this. But you are a part of the current team, you should avoid such things,” he added.
On Sunday, the Melbourne Cricket Ground witnessed England’s supremacy in the white-ball format as they won the 8th edition of the T20 World Cup. They outclassed Pakistan who arrived in Melbourne to repeat the glory of the 1992 50-over World Cup won by former captain Imran Khan.
