"Sports bring people closer, but if politics gets involved in everything, how will we move forward? Until we sit together and discuss issues, nothing will improve — lack of communication only makes things worse," he said.
However, some media reports claimed that Shahid Afridi's act was one of the core reasons for the Indian players pulling out of the match. This was because the 48-year-old had made a controversial remark on social media shortly after the Pahalgam attack, which kept the Indian fans fuming.
"The game comes first. As a sport, cricket is the biggest thing. Bringing politics into it or an Indian cricketer saying he won't play against Pakistan — then don't play, just sit out. But sports is bigger, cricket is bigger, and it's bigger than Shahid Afridi too," he concluded.
