Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi said that Prime Minister Imran Khan should consult with all political parties and leaders in order to work together as one team in the fight against Covid-19.

Speaking to journalists via video link, Afridi said: "We should understand that many people in the country will face difficulties while buying ration in the coming days. This can become a bigger issue than corona.

"Therefore, the government should involve all parties and non-government organisations so that we can streamline the system [for ration distribution]," he said.
