Former Pakistan T20I captain Shahid Afridi urged on Friday for a peaceful resolution of the recent hostilities between Pakistan and India.

The all-rounder’s message comes at a time of increased tensions between the neighbouring countries along the Line of Control (LoC).

The former skipper took to Twitter to communicate to fans and followers on both sides of the border to remain calm and work through dialogue.
