'Cricket is not for my daughters, feminists can say whatever': Shahid Afridi

[Gandhi G in da house]

Is it just me or are Pashtuns as a people way too conservative ? If true then why ?

Shahid Afridi is from a conservative background. The origins of that might be ethnic, or religious - perhaps its a his interpretation of both.

He is free to that interpretation and when his daughters become adults, they are free to whatever interpretation they choose.

we can not label a whole society conservative . but yes many of them have old age tribal mindset .

rightly said no man wants to sleep with a iron bar . cricket football this kind physical game creating some iron bar

Such a shameful mentality.

A woman's body is not for your pleasure. It is not her sole purpose of existence. There are plenty of strong women in this world, some through choice, others through having to do hard labour every day to survive. Each is beautiful as Allah intended her.

Feminists and Feminism is a joke and a bunch of disrespectful immoral women .

Not all feminists are immoral..only the radical..the crazy type..otherwise Islam is the most pro-feminism religion since it gives rights to the women which no other religion gives.

3rd wave feminism is pretty pathetic , have you seen their protests ? And their ways to protests ..? They are ones going topless and naked everywhere to protest for women empowerment.

I actually have no problem what he decide for his daughters but I hate hypocrisy and double standard . I mean I know many guys from conservative family who don't apply Islam and cultural values on themselves when they sleep with eastern Europeans girls here in Europe but they don't even given basic rights to their women and oppress them in the name of Islam and culture...apply all morals and cultural values on yourself before you expect this from others.

Cricket is not for my daughters, feminists can say whatever: Shahid Afridi

May 10, 2019

Former Pakistan cricket team captain Shahid Afridi.

KARACHI:

Former Pakistan cricket team captain Shahid Afridi has said that he will not allow his daughters to play any outdoor sport, and feminists can say whatever they want about his decision.

In his recently released biography titled Game Changer, which he co-authored with journalist Wajahat Saeed Khan, the swashbuckling all rounder has made many startling revelations about his personal and professional life.

The cricketer is father to four daughters, named Ansha, Ajwa, Asmara and Aqsa Afridi. In the book, Afridi states that he will not allow any of his daughters to play outdoor sports because of social and religious reasons.

“The feminists can say whatever they want about my decision,” he writes in Game Changer. According to Afridi, his daughters, two of whom are in their late-teens already, are good at sports, but better at academics.

“Ajwa and Asmara are the youngest and love to play dress-up. They have my permission to play any sport, as long as they’re indoors. Cricket? No, not for my girls. They have permission to play all the indoor games they want, but my daughters are not going to be competing in public sporting activities.”

Afridi has previously landed in hot water with his remarks related to women. The big-hitting batsman came under fire in early 2014 after footage of a TV interview in which he praised the cooking skills of women in response to a question about their cricketing abilities.

In the days to follow, Afridi insisted his remarks had been taken out of context by people who wanted to bring him down after his performances on the field during the time.

In addition to controversial remarks about feminism, Afridi has made other revelations, including an admission that the year on of his birth is 1975, and not 1980, as previously believed.

He also hit out at former team-mates Javed Miandad and Waqar Younis for promoting politics within the dressing room of Pakistan cricket team during their coaching and playing days.

Good decision, and fk feminism.
But he shouldn't have publicized his decision and attract unnecessary attention or criticism.
It's his and his daughter's decision, he may have reached this decision because of the costumes used in sports or environment or whatever, so don't start with the criticism.

Looks like afridi is attending Jamatis seminars . They never give them equal rights. There is nothing wrong woman playing cricket , or becoming international boxer etc.

And according to Islam, men and women do not have equal rights, they have different and specific rights for each of their sex. So pull your head out of "we are living in 21st century".
