It didn’t take a lot of time for the tweet to get viral. Shami’s tweet was flooded with reactions from both parts of countries. Recently, former Pakistan spinner, Shahid Afridi also put forth his feelings on the incident. 

Afridi wasn’t too impressed with Shami’s tweet and advised the cricketers to refrain from involving in such unhealthy banters. In an interaction with Pakistan’s national news channel Samaa TV, Afridi called for an end to all such talks. 

“Ham log jo cricketers hain, we are ambassadors, role models. Hamaari koshish honi chahiye ki ye sab khatm hona chahiye. Ham ek doosre ke padosi hain. Aisi cheezein nahi honi chahiye jiss se nafrat phaile logo ke beech me. Agar ham hi aisa karenge toh aam aadmi se ham kya ummeed rakhenge. (We are cricketers, we are ambassadors and role models. (We are cricketers, we are ambassadors and role models. We should try to end all of this. We are neighbours. We shouldn't do things that cultivate hate. If we start doing such things, what can we expect from the common people),” Afridi said.

 “Sports se hamaare relationship behetar rahenge. Inke saath ham khelna chahte hain, Pakistan me dekhna chahte hain. (Our relationships improve with sports. We want to play with them, see them play in Pakistan).” he added. 

Later, he advised Shami to avoid making disrespectful remarks.

“Agar aap retired player ho... tab bhi nahi karna chahiye. Par aap current team se khel rahe ho, avoid karo inn sab cheezo ko. (Even if you are retired, you shouldn't do this. But you are a part of the current team, you should avoid such things),” said the former Pakistan captain.

Pakistan lost the final of the 20-20 World Cup 2022 to England by 5 wickets at Melbourne Cricket Stadium. Last year, they went down to Australia in the semi-final of the 2021 20-20 World Cup.
