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.

I find it strange that CRICINFO.com is reporting WICB has fired coach Phil Simmons and I am yet to see it on any Caribbean websitehttp://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/1056811.html

WICB Media Release.
ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Effectively immediately, the WICB today announced it has separated from the Head Coach Phil Simmons.
In a meeting of the Board of Directors, on Saturday, September 10, this decision was taken.
In recent times, based on the public pronouncements of the coach and the approach internally, we have identified differences in culture and strategic approach. The WICB would therefore like to thank the coach for his contribution and wishes him the best in his future endeavours.
The Senior Team is preparing for its upcoming assignments against Pakistan in the UAE. The Team will be headed by Manager Joel Garner, coaches Henderson Springer and Roddy Estwick.

Pure nastiness including boycotting the Indian tour..look and see who led it and reverse engineer it and see where it leads...many many nasty people in and out the team..
I cannot believe they did not even want to share a room with him when he started out...dem and their cohorts have no facking shame and then they come here and defend phuckery...
