Forget IPL snub, time to move on to bridge divide: Afridi | The Indian Premier League's (IPL) snub has angered and hurt exciting Pakistan all rounder Shahid Afridi, however he believes that things should move on in order to bridge the divide between India and Pakistan. In a press release,
Afridi said he was deeply hurt and angered by the way Pakistani cricketers were
treated during the IPL auction, but he is willing to forgive and forget what has
happened and look forward. Afridi said he does not want to dig further into the
issue, which could worsen ties between both the countries, rather work to bridge
the gap. "I'm therefore willing to forgive and forget what has happened and look
forward.When you think about it, Pakistan and India share much more things in
common than there are differences, we need to build our relations rather than
break them," PakPassion.net quoted Afridi, as saying. Afridi said he would happily
accept India 's invitation to play there in future. "If I am invited to play in
India again I would do so happily, they have great fans and great stadiums and
I have many friends there. Sport should be used to build peace between our great
nations, not break them," Afridi said. |
