Speaking to the media, Javed Afridi said that the 4th addition of the Zalmi Madrasa League will give an opportunity to students of Azad Kashmir to express their talent, and also it will promote the message of peace and religious harmony.

The second edition of the Zalmi Madrasa League was held at Bolan Cricket Stadium in Quetta, and students from seminaries were given the opportunity to showcase their cricket talent on the main stage for the first time.
The Zalmi Foundation had also arranged the meetup of the Students of the Zalmai Madrasa Cricket League with the former Peshawar Zalmi captain, Darren Sammy, and mentor Hashim Amla.
