My daughters are precious to me: Afridi after indoor sports remark on children backfires

"My daughters are very precious to me," scribbled Shahid Afridi in his defence after creating a flutter by writing in his book that he won't allow them to play any outdoor sport.

In his autobiography titled 'Game Changer', the former Pakistan captain -- who is father of four daughters -- Ansha, Ajwa, Asmara and Aqsa -- said his decision was motivated by "social and religious reasons".

In the book, the much-discussed cricketer added that that feminists can say whatever they want about his decision.

"My life revolves around them. They all have some ambitions in life and I will support them while guiding them as a responsible father," Afridi wrote on his twitter handle.

"I don't judge anyone for what they do or meddle in people's life. I expect the same too from others. May Allah bless my daughters and daughters/women all over the world! Let people be."
