Enjoyed playing cricket in India: Shahid Afridi to India Today

Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi has said he loved playing cricket in India.

The India-Pakistan cricket rivalry captures the imagination of the entire cricketing world but the two arch-rivals have not played each other in a bilateral series since 2012-13 due to strained relations.

In fact, the last time India and Pakistan played out a full-fledged bilateral series was including Tests was way back in 2007-08. The likes of Virat Kohli, R Ashwin, Azhar Ali and Mohammad Amir have never played an India-Pakistan Test match.

India and Pakistan, however, continue to play each other at ICC events - last year, the two nationals squared off in the Champions Trophy. While India won the first group match, Pakistan, riding on Amir's magical spell, beat India in the final to lift the trophy.
