Original Content: We Used to Receive Threats from India – Shahid Afridi On Cricket Relations
Shahid Afridi, the ex-Pakistani cricketer, proposed that cricket could ease tensions between India and Pakistan. He urged Team India to reciprocate Pakistan’s visit during the 2023 ODI World Cup by travelling to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Shahid Afridi mentioned that despite having security issues and getting threats from India, the Pakistani team, captained by Babar Azam, went to India for the World Cup after receiving guarantees of security.
“Pakistan and India must normalise cricket relations with eachother. Pakistan toured India in the past despite reservations. There is no way to improve relations between Indo-Pak other then cricket diplomacy,” Shahid Afridi said in the press-conference.
Shahid Afridi said "We all know Narendra Modi's intentions towards Muslims, and how he treats them. We traveled to India in the past even when we had threats from there. India should come to Pakistan too"
Massive statement by Lala. Straightforward as always

However, at present, it seems improbable that Team India will travel to Pakistan for the 2025 Champions Trophy. The alternative is that the tournament will adopt a hybrid format, with India’s matches moved to a different nation.
