Shahid Khan Afridi, the only Pakistani ‘icon’ who enjoys ruling over the hearts of millions of people nationally and internationally from fans of all age groups this time has been disappointed by his fans. Boom Boom Afridi had stated on his twitter account that he would come to Karachi’s National Stadium. 22nd September (Sunday). Afridi on his Twitter account invited the followers to show up at the cricket ground. He had said that he would meet his fans and give away autographs.
The 33-year-old cricket star was to reach the stadium at 5 PM. But his arrival disappointed him since there were no more than dozens of people waiting for him to see. The cricket player wore white shirt and shades. Those who had made it on time met him. While those who got late, missed the chance. He pictured with fans and gave autographs.
While talking to the media on the occasion Afridi said that pertaining to the Peshawar incident (bomb blast near church) people failed to make it to the stadium. Discussing performance of team, he said that every captain leads the team in his own way. Instead of investing in UAE league, PCB should finance locally in domestic matches.
