With tensions on the rise between India and Pakistan since the former’s move to abrogate Article 370, there has been no end to the ever increasing rhetoric from Pakistan. As the Imran Khan regime looks to make the Kashmir issue a big agenda, former Pakistan cricketers have been issuing statements on Kashmir.
On Sunday, a video went viral on social media of former Pakistan batting great Javed Miandad giving his two bits on the Kashmir situation.

“Kashmiri brothers don’t worry. We are with you. Earlier I used a bat to hit a six, now I can use this sword…If I can hit a sixer with a bat, can’t I kill a man with a sword,” Miandad was quoted as saying in the video by news agency IANS.

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi too had taken to Twitter earlier to express his views on the Kashmir situation.
