Indian superstar off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has joined Pakistan legend Shahid Afridi for a noble cause, as the two celebrated cricketers visited a labour camp in Baharain and had lunch with 2,000 people working as labourers in the country.
Former Pakistan captain and the founder of Shahid Afridi Foundation (SAF) posted a very friendly message for Harbhajan on Twitter and thanked the veteran Indian cricketer for having extended his support to the foundation.
"Breaking all barriers, crossing all boundaries for love, peace and humanity. ThankU @harbhajan_singh for supporting @SAFoundationN #HopeNotOut," Shahid Afridi tweeted.
The Indian cricketer was quick to reply as he wrote, "Humanity first..#Hopenotout such great work they are doing for the humanity.. lovely to be part of.. more power to @SAfridiOfficial & team"
