The match was set to mark the first India-Pakistan face-off in this year’s World Championship of Legends. Pakistan’s captain is Mohammad Hafeez, while Yuvraj Singh leads the Indian side.
Shahid Afridi has been taking swipes at India with the tea barb since the Pahalgam attack. He escalated it when Shikhar Dhawan responded by asking the former Pakistani cricketer how low he will stoop.
The Pakistani ex-cricketer also claimed that the former skipper once tried to persuade him to convert to Islam. Afridi has also drawn backlash for calling Indian Army incompetent.
Afridi said he wants the ICC Champions Trophy be held in Pakistan with India's participation. He also hoped that Babar Azam wins his next trophy on home ground but that he must improve his game.
Pakistan is witnessing a Babar vs Shaheen supremacy battle after the country’s cricket board removed Shaheen Afridi as captain to reinstate Babar Azam.
Afridi will have former teammates Abdul Razzaq and Rao Iftikhar Anjum to work with him in a three-member committee. For now, the appointment is limited for the series against New Zealand.

SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.
