T20 World Cup: ‘Never underestimate Pakistan’, warns Shahid Afridi
It can call the spirit of 2009 and win another T20 World Cup.
He also played in an eight-wicket win over Sri Lanka in the Lord’s final where he hit 54 undefeated.
“The whole nation was disappointed and frustrated, so winning was very much needed.
Afridi forcibly attacked the scene in 1996 when he broke the fastest century record in ODI cricket, reaching his 100th from 37 balls.
It was a record that lasted until 2014.
Afridi, who played for 99 T20 Internationals in Pakistan, thinks the latest challenges could once again inspire the Babar Azam team in the 2021 T20 show.
A month before the big event, head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and bowling coach Waqar Younis resigned, apparently believing the new board chairman Ramiz Raja would dismiss them.
New Zealand then left the country a few minutes before the first ODI in Rawalpindi.
Three days later, England also withdrew its men’s and women’s teams from visiting Pakistan.
