Karachi: “My daughters are very precious to me,” scribbled Shahid Afridi in his defence after creating a flutter by writing in his book that he won’t allow them to play any outdoor sport.
In his autobiography titled Game Changer, the former Pakistan captain — who is father of four daughters — Ansha, Ajwa, Asmara and Aqsa — said his decision was motivated by “social and religious reasons”.
In the book, the much-discussed cricketer added that that feminists can say whatever they want about his decision. “My life revolves around them. They all have some ambitions and I will support them and guide them as a responsible father,” Afridi wrote on his twitter handle. “I don’t judge anyone for what they do or meddle in people’s life. I expect the same too from others. May Allah bless my daughters and daughters/women all over the world! Let people be.”
