After Indian players wore camouflage caps to honour Pulwama martyrs during the 3rd ODI against Australia at Ranchi, PCB wrote a letter to ICC saying that politics and cricket should not be mixed. In response, ICC took India’s side saying BCCI was granted permission to go with the action, which also aimed to honour the Indian Army and motivate people towards fundraising for families of defence personnel.
Now, Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi has come up with a funny response over the same. During a post-match press conference of PSL match, a reporter asked Shahid Afridi about his views on Indian players wearing camouflage caps. Shahid Afridi replied with a smile saying, “Caps pehni to utar bi deen (They wore but took it off as well)”. Have a look at the video below.
Following Pulwama attack, there has been growing anger in India, with many asking the team to forfeit the World Cup game against Pakistan while others have gone to the extent of wanting Pakistan to be banned from the tournament. ICC, however, refused to entertain such claims.
