Pakistan cricket coach Waqar Younis today defended under-fire captain Shahid Afridi for his love for India statement, saying that there was nothing controversial in it and the all-rounder was merely expressing his emotions. "For me, I did not find anything controversial in it. This is something he felt. It's his emotions. I believe we should leave it at that rather than creating a controversy out of nothing. We're here to play cricket, to beat teams. To focus on cricket is a better idea," Younis said at the pre- match news conference in Kolkata. "My message to the boys is just leave everything behind. This is about playing some quality cricket, playing for the nation. They all are capable."
