He said that only a strong bond between parents and children can curb such incidents.

“I learnt a lot about my father’s strong faith in Allah and loves the quality of generosity of my mother,” he said while talking about his parents.
“I had planned to stay at home and spend time with family after retiring from cricket but Allah has different plans,” he said while discussing his humanitarian activities being conducted in difference areas of the country.
Afridi said that Balochistan is close to his heart as it lacks basic facilities as compare to other provinces.
“Imran Khan has been my hero,” he praised the former prime minister and PTI chairman in response to a question.
