PESHAWAR – Twenty20 Captain Shahid Khan Afridi on Tuesday announced to take 150 students of Army Public School Peshawar (APS) to Dubai for the inaugural ceremony of Pakistan Super League (PSL).

Talking to journalists on this occasion, Afridi stated that lack of extracurricular activities at school level is alarming which needs to get addressed. He slammed his favorite pair Ahmad Shahzad and Umar Akmal for their worst performance in New Zealand tour and said that cricket is a team game in which every player has to contribute for the winning.


He said that he always tries to cooperate with the cricketers in all the fields including bowling and batting while the local administrations of all the provinces have to ensure gaming facilities in schools for better future of the cricket. Moreover, stunning cricketer also distributed Peshawar Zalmi’s kits among the students.


Afridi further announced to be retired after the World T20 which is due in India this March. Earlier, Afridi urged his team to raise their game in upcoming international competitions following their 2-1 Twenty20 defeat in New Zealand last week.


Pakistan won the first match by 16 runs before going down tamely by 10 wickets and 95 runs respectively in the next two games – their worst Twenty20 defeats in terms of wickets and runs.

They need justice bro............
They don't need recreation trips.............

My God... One positive thing happens and people want to say these kinds of things.

OF COURSE they want justice, but you are forgetting that these are just kids, and there is nothing wrong with fun and recreation (in fact, its encouraged!)!! Don't forget that APS is in KPK - where Afridi is cherished and loved by many!

For all you know one of these kids may be so inspired by this journey that he too will become a household name like Afridi.

Please think before you type.

Think at a wider scale.
Here people who have lost their loved once in terrorism already think that We are over reacting on APS incident in certain ways.

This create the notion that ''They are doing so much for them because they were kids of military, while no one give damn about civilian victims''

APS incident is over.......... you need to learn from it. Instead of doing politics or playing popularity cards.........real thing is to provide them what they really need..................
