“Thanks to all Pakistani cricketers for expressing their love for the people of Afghanistan,” the former Afghan cricketer responded.

Shahid Afridi won hearts earlier in the tournament by standing firm on his values and beliefs. He refused to wear a shirt with a betting company’s logo.

Despite the possibility of fines from the tournament’s organisers, Afridi hid the logo on his shirt, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to his principles.

Shahid Afridi has such a big heart! He dedicated the #LegendsLeagueCricket trophy to Asghar Afghan and to the people of Afghanistan Ma Shaa Allah. Asghar will take it back home to celebrate with his countrymen. Der kha, Lala ❤️ @SAfridiOfficial pic.twitter.com/NI6xEWuzGt
