Afghanistan’s Ambassador to Sri Lanka M Ashraf Hydari has described Pakistani cricketer Asif Ali’s “gun-style” celebrations after the victory against the Afghanistan cricket team as a “shameful act of aggression”. Taking to Twitter, Hydari also praised the Afghan team and said that “the time for war will come.”
Hydari tweeted this on Saturday, after Pakistan defeated their neighboring country by five wickets in the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup in Dubai on Friday. He wrote, “Shameful aggression by Pakistan player Asif Ali showing his bat as a gun. The Afghanistan players have given him and his team a tough challenge. Above all, the game is associated with a healthy competition, friendship and peace.” The time for war will come!”

In fact, after hitting his fourth and match-winning six off the last ball of the 19th over, Ali held his bat like a gun is caught in the firing position and in gun-firing style, he won with his bat. Celebrated.
The match was played for the second time in August after the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan. Pakistan has faced accusations on its part of helping the Taliban seize power, which Islamabad has repeatedly denied.
In addition, the new Afghan government, which renamed the country as the “Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan”, is yet to be recognized globally. However, the Imran Khan government recently allowed Taliban-appointed envoys to take charge of the Afghan embassy and consulate in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Hydari has been Afghanistan’s envoy to Sri Lanka since 2018, when Ashraf Ghani was the war-torn nation’s president. However, after the Taliban takeover, Ghani fled the country and went to the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Incidentally, the ICC World T20 2021 tournament is also being played in the UAE.
