The former Pakistan skipper later also posted of the same with a motivating message for them, and wished them to ‘keep making Kashmiri people proud.’

Afridi retired from international cricket in February 2017 after 21 long years of his long career.

Meanwhile, this afternoon, the flamboyant cricketer decided to spend some special moments with a group of Kashmiri students who are studying medicine in Bangladesh.

In a Tweet, the right-handed batsman who bowls leg-spin expressed satisfaction after meeting them. “Heartening meeting with some Kashmiri students who are in Bangladesh on scholarship, studying Medicine. Keep up the hard work and making your people proud!” Afridi tweeted from his official account along with some pictures.
