'Misbah has the quality of forgiving,' Afridi on Amir's reunion with ex-coach
Amir took retirement in 2020 when Misbah was head coach of Pakistan team
Pakistan's former captain Shahid Afridi highly praised his ex-teammate Misbah-ul-Haq after Mohammad Amir reunited with them in the ongoing Legends League Cricket (LLC) in Qatar.
Amir, who took retirement from international cricket as a protest against Misbah-led Pakistan team management in 2020, played under his captaincy in Asia Lions during LLC.
The former fast bowler suffered immense criticism after his picture with Misbah, Afridi and other Pakistani cricketers in Lions' kit went viral.
To a query about sorting out issues between Misbah and Amir during a local Tv show, Afridi said Misbah has the quality of forgiving.
"I think sometimes players give statements without realising that at some point they can come across each other," he highlighted.
"They should avoid giving such statements," said Afridi in reference to Amir's statement in which he blamed Misbah for doing injustice with him in the national team.
"I would like to give credit to Misbah here. I am not praising him because he is sitting here with me in the show. He has the quality of forgiving which you rarely find in our society," he added.
Amir alongside Afridi, Sohail Tanvir, Abdul Razzaq, Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Akhtar is representing the Lions in LLC.
