Afridi requests farewell T20 against West Indies
Tue, Sep 13, '16
LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board is seriously considering a request from former T20 captain Shahid Afridi to give him a graceful farewell by allowing him a chance to feature in one of the three T20 Internationals scheduled against the West Indies later this month in the UAE.
Though the PCB is pondering over the proposal forwarded by the explosive all-rounder, it is concerned about the possible outcome in case it decides to arrange a farewell game for the veteran player.
Earlier, Afridi, in an unusual move, deviated from his commitment he made to PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan about a year before the 2016 World T20 that he would retire from T20 Internationals after the mega event.
Under Afridi’s captaincy, Pakistan failed to produce any worthwhile show in this year’s Asia Cup T20 and the World T20, staged in Bangladesh and India, respectively.
