Post the argy-bargy between former Pakistan international Shahid Afridi and Afghanistan cricketer Naveen-ul-Haq after the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2020 match on Monday, Afridi has dropped his reaction over the heated exchange held between the two players.
A day after the controversy, Afridi took to his official Twitter handle and revealed that he only advised Naveen not to indulge in any abusive talk with either teammates or opponents.
“My advice to the young player was simple, play the game and don’t indulge in abusive talk. I have friends in Afghanistan team, and we have very cordial relations. Respect for teammates and opponents is the basic spirit of the game,” tweeted Afridi.
