    Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi on Saturday furnished an explanation with regard to his age written in his autobiography 'Game Changer'.

    Addressing the launching ceremony of his book, the former all-rounder said he wanted to share the journey of his life with his fans, who stood by him during every difficult time.

    Commenting with regard to controversy surrounding his age, he said he was born in 1977, however, the book mistakenly mentions the year of his birth to be 1975.

    Afridi said the e-copy of the book mentions the correct year of his birth though.

    He said he decided to write the book for his fans after his career ended in 2015. "The purpose was to tell the correct age to my fans, whether my record is taken away," the former all-rounder said.

    It is pertinent to mention here that Afridi's year of birth is officially documented as 1980.

    He further said he respects all the seniors and if he said any negative thing about someone, then he would also have mentioned positive facts about the same person.

    "I have not had any personal issue with Waqar Younis. Differences occur among brothers as well," Afridi said.
