Shahid Afridi, quit as ODIs skipper, has pulled altogether from 2 ODIs versus Ireland for private reasons, an official says yesterday.The famous cricketer was last week changed by Misbah-ul-Haq despite leading Pakistan squad to the ICC World Cup and a 3-2 ODIs sequence triumph over the West Indies.
It’s seen as very clear charges by the PCB for Afridi’s open public complaint of coach Waqar Younis for interfering in squad selection on the West Indies trip.” Shahid Afridi has told us that his dad has been admitted to medical center for liver treatment and he desires to be with him and wouldn’t be ready for the 2 games in Ireland,” PCB spokesperson Nadeem Sarwar informed journalists.
No substitute will be sent for Afridi, says Sarwar.
Pakistan, who levelled a 2 match Test sequence in the WI on Monday, arrive at Ireland where they play on 28 and 30 of this month. The Cricket Board took powerful notice of the open public criticism and admonished Shahid Afridi for breaking the agreement for airing team matters in the press.
