Boom-Boom Afridi apologises fans for his misbehavior

Star Pakistani cricketer Shahid Khan Afridi apologised his fans for his misbehavior, saying that it all happened due to his daughter who got injured due to the pushing by crowd.

Speaking to media at his residence, the boom-boom Afridi explained that it was not an intentional act. He clarified it all happened when his three-year-old daughter fell due to crowd. He observed, “Toe nails of my daughter were injured”.

He also said some people also jumped on his car, making the situation more complex. However, he flayed criticism on the security arrangements, saying that there was always an issue regarding the security of the cricketers.

He observed, “There was no security for players and its usual that fans come and seek autographs but this time they were out of control and hurt my daughter on which I lost my temper”.

Annoyed Afridi, who earned man of the match award in the final game, said that the players were also not given security when they headed for Asia cup.

Rehman Gul, the victimized fan, who was slapped by Afridi, said that he considers the star as his elder brother and would not consider the matter seriously.

He commented, “Afridi’s reaction was natural as dozens of fans circled him and hurt his daughter. I still love him and he is just like my brother”.

On Friday night, Afridi lashed out at fans at Karachi airport after his three-year-old daughter was hurt in a crush of autograph hunters.

The renowned hitter and former captain of the Green-shirts lost his temper, hitting fans who had descended on the airport to greet members of the Asia Cup winning national squad. It all happened when Ajwa, the younger daughter of Afridi got hurt by the crowd.

Mushtaq Afridi, the brother of Shahid Afridi, while talking to the media said that the star player respects his fans but he lost his temper when his three-year-old daughter fell on the ground.
