History says Pakistan’s better than us: Bangladesh skipper Mortaza
Bangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza on Tuesday said Pakistan hold an edge over Bangladesh ahead of their World T20 match here at the Eden Gardens ground. “Whether it is Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis or Inzamam-ul-Haq, they will also say that they get a lot of respect here because cricketers are literally worshipped in India.

Shahid Afridi and senior participant Shoaib Malik had acknowledged India after landing for the World T20, insisting which they never thought confronted in the united states although their starting was delayed as a result of safety problems”.
Shahid Afridi, on being questioned about it said, “I’ve not enjoyed playing anywhere as much as I have in India”.
Pakistani legend cricketer Javed Miandad stated that he should be ashamed of himself. “What have the Indians granted us?” The Afridi-led side arrived to a warm welcome in Kolkata on Saturday after getting the security assurance from the concerned authorities in India and the ICC.
They also beat Afridi’s team in the Asia Cup earlier this year and have won five of their last six completed T20I fixtures coming into this match.
Afridi’s comments drew so much outrage that one Pakistani lawyer even says he has served him and the chairman of the country’s cricket board, Najam Sethi, with a legal notice.
The petition, filed by advocate Azhar Siddique yesterday, argued that Afridi’s statement has hurt Pakistani sentiments and the court must ask the skipper to explain his remarks, reports Daily Pakistan. “More spinners are likely to play in these sort of conditions but our strength lies in fast bowling and we will try and play three pacers”, said the “Sultan of Swing”. He said his statement was meant to be a positive message to the world that cricket brings people together. Bangladesh are in India’s half along with Australia, Pakistan and New Zealand. With a lot of controversy already surrounding Shahid Afridi after his recent comments and somewhat questionable decisions during matches, we can only wish the veteran player best of luck in this world cup as he deserves to end his career with the love and support of his nation. He futher added that Afridi is neither an ambassador nor a diplomat and he made uncalled for comments which he should take back.
