Happy with the reception here, Pakistan skipper on Sunday said his country's cricketers get more love from the fans in India than from those back home.
"We get lot of love from fans here, even more than the love we get from fans in Pakistan," Afridi told the media at the Eden Gardens, a day after their arrival to take part in the World Twenty20.
The 36-year-old dashing all-rounder recalled that he has been coming to India for two decades during his long career, and asserted that cricket has always brought the two countries together.
"Cricket is a sport which has brought the two countries together. Can there be anything better than politics and cricket to bring the two countries together?" he said.
However, Afridi disagreed with a media person that the fact that none of the Pakistan players opted out of the tournament after their authorities gave them a choice to travel or not to travel to India showed that they disagreed with their government's apprehensions about their security in India.
