A day after creating a furore back home with his “love for India” statement, Pakistani skipper Shahid Afridi on Tuesday skipped the team’s training session, citing “fever”, ahead of their World Twenty20 opener against Bangladesh here on Wednesday.
For his statement that he got “more love” in India than in Pakistan, Afridi received much flak back home on Monday with the legendary Javed Miandad blasting him “shame on you”. Afridi meanwhile sought to douse the fire by saying that he did not intend to demean his nation and was merely trying to give a positive message by showing respect to the fans here.
