Petition filed in SHC to ban Afridi's Game Changer.
KARACHI (Dunya News) – A petition has on Monday been filed in the Sindh High Court (SHC) to ban former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi’s autobiography Game Changer.
The petitioner – Advocate Abdul Jaleel Khan – has taken the stance that Shahid Afridi used inappropriate words for legends Javed Miandad and Waqar Younis. The plaintiff also mentioned the unseemly remarks regarding Gautam Gambhir.
Abdul Jaleel Khan requested the court to bar the printing of the book and to direct the all-rounder to omit the improper language that has been used against the former greats in the book.
The petitioner raised the question that how can a 21-year-old play under-19 cricket, as Shahid Afridi himself admitted in the autobiography that he was born in 1975.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the International Cricket Council (ICC) had declared Shahid Afridi record holder for fastest one-day international (ODI) century at the age of sixteen in 1996, the petition said.
Advocate Abdul Jaleel Khan requested the SHC to order Shahid Afridi to submit his birth certificate as well.
