An alumni association of Kerala’s Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) in Dubai is facing widespread backlash on social media after former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi was seemingly welcomed at one of their recent events.
Comparing India-Pakistan to the “Super Bowl,” Afridi reminisced about his playing days, saying he enjoyed playing against the Indian team and claimed that the rivalry was unmatched.
Notably, the two nations have not played a bilateral cricket series since 2007 due to tensed diplomatic relationships between them. The only time they face each other is during the ICC events.
In a statement, international tennis player Robin Das had appealed to the Shahid Afridi Foundation (SAF) to help the minority communities in the city.

Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh urged people to support Shahid Afridi's foundation which is helping people to fight the COVID-19 pandemic in Pakistan.
