In Pakistan, New Zealand players are idolised, so doing anything like this is unacceptable. If they were concerned about a potential threat, they should have informed the PCB and waited for Pakistani security services to investigate the situation, according to Afridi.
The 44-year-old encouraged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to take notice of similar instances, which he believes have tarnished the sport. He claims that teams have been cancelling tours without cause and without fear of sanctions, which he claims has set a dangerous precedent and will harm the game in the long run.

New Zealand had been given foolproof security, according to Afridi, and if there had been a threat to the team, Pakistan’s security agencies would have warned them ahead of time and cancelled the tour themselves since Pakistan cannot afford another security blunder.
According to Afridi, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) should take serious measures against New Zealand Cricket (NZC) since what they did was unacceptable and should not be condoned.
