Srinagar: In another major statement that is likely going to anger Pakistan cricket fans, former India cricketer Irfan Pathan has snubbed Pakistan while naming his best cricket team in Asia.
Afghanistan, ended its journey in World Cup 2023 on Friday but is being hailed by one amd all for its performance. They secured wins against three previous World Cup champions Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and England.
This achievement is particularly notable given Afghanistan’s modest record of just two World Cup wins prior to this tournament.
Irfan Pathan, who has consistently supported the Afghan team throughout the tournament, even celebrated their victory over Pakistan by dancing with the players.
In a tweet on X, Pathan lauded Afghanistan for playing high-quality cricket during the tournament and acknowledged them as the second-best Asian team, trailing only behind India.
“Top quality cricket by Afghanistan this World Cup. Second best Asian team for sure. Hopefully from here on this team will create magic on the field. Good luck going forward,” wrote Pathan.
This is another statement from Pathan that is going to anger Pakistan fans. He had already been at receiving end of Pakistan fans after dancing with Rashid Khan after Afghanistan win over Pakistan.
