Pakistan’s ANF arrests 10 suspects in drug smuggling operations
The Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) of Pakistan arrested 10 individuals involved in drug smuggling in operations across the country, said a statement.
Veteran Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi, who is under attack from Indian cricketers for his anti-India Tweet with regard to Kashmir issue, believes that Pakistan Super League (PSL) will surpass the Indian Premier League (IPL).
And he will not play in the biggest and richest cricket league (IPL) even if The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) approaches him.
“Even if they call me, I won’t go to the IPL. My PSL is the biggest and there will be a time that it leaves the IPL behind. I am enjoying the PSL, I don’t have any need for the IPL. I’m not interested in it and never was,” Afridi was quoted as saying in Saj Sadiq’s Tweet. Saj is the editor of pakistanpassion.net.

Afridi’s statement came as a surprise to many as he had hailed IPL during the inaugural edition. Afridi was picked by Deccan Chargers in the first IPL.
“Although I played just once in the IPL, it is easily the biggest league you can play in and I enjoyed my experience. The IPL is clearly the best organised foreign league and it was a totally different experience playing in it,” Afridi then had told Indian Express.
While talking about all the criticism he has been facing because of his Tweet, Afridi said: “I’m not worried about the response to my tweet from some. I believe I spoke the truth and I have the right to speak the truth.”
Appalling and worrisome situation ongoing in the Indian Occupied Kashmir.Innocents being shot down by oppressive regime to clamp voice of self determination & independence. Wonder where is the @UN & other int bodies & why aren’t they making efforts to stop this bloodshed?

Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi was also quoted as saying that he would have become a soldier if not a cricketer.
“I am a soldier of my country. My country is my honour and Pakistan is everything for me.”
