LAHORE: It is good that Afridi has returned to the national cricket team. He is good for the team because he is a genuine fighter who never gives up. And he is a man who helped inculcate pride and patriotism in his players during the last World Cup. Moreover, he plays clean cricket and has never been associated with allegations of match-fixing and the like. Also, unlike other players, he plays to win and not necessarily to make records. And finally, he has a large fan following in Pakistan and overseas, and when such players are playing international cricket, it is good for the game.
