Javed Afridi is almost always on a roll with new ideas that he keeps sharing with fans! With PSL around the corner, people were eagerly waiting for Javed Afridi to announce the brand ambassador of Peshawar Zalmi and most of them were expecting it to be Esra Bilgic after Javed Afridi had dropped hints earlier:
NEW BEGINNINGS ✨ @esbilgic

People were quick to change the teams they were supporting:
First I was a fan of Karachi kings and Peshawar zalmi (coz of Esra) but now I'm a fan of Karachi kings only😏🙂🙂

Some people thought that Javed Afridi had lost his credibility:
People or I should say crooks like @JAfridi10 have lost credibility. Sometimes he tweets about @Tesla, sometimes @rihanna, sometimes @Starbucks and sometimes @esbilgictr joining @PeshawarZalmi just to gain attention and few followers on Social Media. What’s your next scam, loser? https://t.co/G2E3UIcxue
— Sajeer ALAM (@SajeerAlam) February 16, 2021
@JAfridi10 was tweeting about @esbiljic & @rihanna but that was lollypop for fans ….he should have avoided such tweets otherwise he will lost his credibility#PSL6 https://t.co/fvBh6Wy6aJ

— saim (@saimshaikh58) February 16, 2021
People were happy that he chose someone from his own country to support PZ:
یہ اچھی چیز پاکستانی لوگوں کو ہی اپنی لیگ کو پروموٹ کرنا ہے اور اپنے ملک کو عزت دینی ہے
well done javed bhai https://t.co/PAt42tkPiJ— Nadeem Mazhar (@NadeemMazhar7) February 16, 2021

People were lauding him:
Good decision. Support Pakistani artists. Its them who will give back to Pakistan in the end. Mahira has already started her own company.
