Shahid Afridi expressed happiness on being made the ambassador of T20 World Cup 2024
The ICC on Friday appointed former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi as the ambassador for the T20 World Cup 2024. A Pakistani journalist shared this news on Twitter and tried to humiliate Suresh Raina. The former Indian cricketer has given a befitting reply to this.
Actually, during a recent IPL match, when Aakash Chopra asked Suresh Raina about his return from retirement, Raina jokingly said- I am Suresh Raina, not Shahid Afridi. Now for this reason, the Pakistani journalist tried to belittle Suresh Raina.
However, Suresh Raina is known for his wit and immediately responded to the tweet, writing, I am not an ICC ambassador but the 2011 World Cup is at my home. Remember the Mohali match. Hope it brings back some unforgettable memories for you.
I’m not an ICC ambassador, but I have the 2011 World Cup at my house. Remember the game at Mohali? Hope it brings back some unforgettable memories for you.

However, Shahid Afridi has expressed happiness on being made the ambassador of T20 World Cup 2024. He said- ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is an event that is very close to my heart. From becoming the Player of the Tournament in the first edition to winning the trophy in 2009, some of the favorite moments of my career have come from this tournament.
Everyone is eagerly waiting for the India-Pakistan match in the T20 World Cup. Both teams have not been playing bilateral series against each other for the last decade. Both teams are seen playing only in ICC events. And for this reason fans are very excited about the India-Pakistan match. Now it remains to be seen who wins the match to be held on June 9, India or Pakistan.
