Former cricketer Shahid Afridi has called on the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to include Kashmir team in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Jammu and Kashmir Salvation Movement (JKSM) President Altaf Ahmed Bhatt praised Afridi for demanding to induct the Kashmir team into the PSL.
On his visit to AJK on Saturday, Shahid Afridi said, “I hope that there will be a team from Kashmir in the next edition of PSL. I also want to play for that team.”
Bhat said during a ration distribution ceremony in AJK that millions of Kashmiris have desired for Shahid Afridi to be a part of their team in PSL.
The JKSM president said it was his dream that PSL matches be held in Srinagar “as the hearts of Kashmiri youth beat with the Pakistan cricket team”.
He said the people of Occupied Kashmir have always supported Pakistan cricket team whenever it had face off with India.
Bhatt also paid tribute to Kashmir King Chairman Nisar Shaiq for mobilising the Kashmir cricket team and introducing it to the world.
He also suggested that Kashmiris from both sides of the border be made part of Kashmir cricket team and should be given an opportunity to play international matches as well.
