In the book, the cricketer also unleashed withering criticism against old teammates - including erstwhile World Cup captain and current Prime Minister Imran Khan.

KARACHI - Former Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi batted away accusations of misogyny this week as critics lashed out at the cricket star’s admission that he refuses to let his daughters play outdoor sports.

“The feminists can say what they want; as a conservative Pakistani father, I’ve made my decision,” he added. “Afridi is no better than a typical middle-aged average Pakistani guy, who wouldn’t mind hanging out with someone else’s daughters but would baulk if his own did the same,” tweeted Salman Siddiq.

Others pointed to the examples set by other athletes on the issue, including Egyptian football star at Liverpool Mohamed Salah who has advocated for the equal treatment of women in the Islamic world.
