“I hope that there will be a team from Kashmir in next edition of PSL. I also want to play for that team,” Afridi said during his visit to Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on Saturday.
Speaking during a ration distribution ceremony in AJK's district Bagh, Bhatt said that the desire of Afridi to make Kashmir team part of the PSL "has become the voice of millions of Kashmiris."
The JKSM president said it was his dream that PSL matches be held in Srinagar "as the hearts of Kashmiri youth beat with the Pakistan cricket team".

Describing Afridi as goodwill ambassador of Kashmiris, Bhatt expressed hope that the cricket legend would continue to highlight the Kashmir cause globally.
