New Delhi: The Women’s T20 World Cup is underway in South Africa these days and a brand new Women’s Premier League is set to host it’s player auction. These are two big events in terms of women’s cricket but in between this an old comment of former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi is going viral in which he can be seen giving a harsh reaction when asked about women’s cricket.
During an interview when asked, what is your opinion about Peshawar having their own girls cricket team, Afridi ruthlessly replied,”Humare Khawateen ke hatho mein maza bohot zada hai, vo khana bohot accha bnati hai”. (Women of our nation has taste in her hand, they cook really well.
Here is the old video of Afridi:
