New Delhi, April 04: Former Pakistan skipper Aamir Sohail today slammed current captain Shahid Afridi for his comments that Indians are “not as large-hearted as Pakistanis”, saying that the staement was “immaturish and untimely”.
Afridi had said after reaching home following Pakistan’s semifinal exit from the World Cup that it would be very difficult for Pakistanis to live with Indians or to have long-term relationship with them.
Sohail said Afridi should not have made these remarks just after the goodwill generated in the aftermatch of the India-Pakistan semifinal clash at Mohali and he should respect each individual.
“I think Afridi should not have made such comments. You got to respect every individual. His statement is kind of immaturish and at the same time untimely,” Sohail said.
Afridi had also criticised Indian media for its “negative approach” but Sohail said media has a certain role to play.
