Afridi also hinted at his concerns regarding squad selections but chose not to name any specific players. I have objections to some players in the squad, but I won’t name them. We must stand behind our team," he added. During the same segment, former India star Yuvraj Singh joined in with his own humorous take on the rivalry. On Fitness: Yuvraj cheekily added, "Aap fitness ke baare me baat na kare." (It will be better if you don't talk about fitness) Furthermore On the India-Pakistan Rivalry: He compared the relationship between the two cricketing giants to that of a husband and wife, saying "India vs Pakistan relationship is like miya-biwi. In the morning they quarrel and in the evening they eat together." The upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 match between India national cricket team and Pakistan national cricket team promises to be a blockbuster encounter. With both teams steeped in a rich rivalry and history, the game will be played at the iconic Dubai International Stadium on February 23.
