Amritsar, March 28: Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi’s younger brother Mushtaq Afridi found himself stranded at the Wagah border today as he attempted to enter India to watch the high-profile World Cup semi-final between the arch-rivals on Wednesday.
Mushtaq, himself a first class cricketer and dashing batsman like his brother, was stopped at the Wagah border by the authorities here as he did not have proper documentation for his match-ticket.
“It is not a big issue. I had the copy of the ticket from the internet but the authorities wanted to see the hard copy.
It is being sorted out now,” Mushtaq said.
“I am confident that I will be able to reach my destination by tonight,” he said.
Sources said that Mushtaq had contacted his brother in Mohali for assistance and the matter was now being sorted out.
“Shahid (Afridi) is taking care of things.
