Pakistan’s former one-day captain Shahid Afridi in an interview to a Pakistani sports channel has once again insisted on the inclusion of all-rounder Abdul http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Razzaq-c84421 in the national team.
Afridi, who is known for being friends with Razzaq insisted that it was ridiculous to consider the all-rounder not worthy of playing the shortest version of the game the Twenty20 cricket. According to him, Razzaq is still one of the most lethal all-rounders
in the world of cricket at any level.
Razzaq made headline in June, when in his first game while playing for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lancashire-c806. With this remarkable innings he shunned
the critics who suggested that the all-rounder had passed his prime.
However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has not shown any interest in recalling the 31-year-old Razzaq for national duty, a decision which has faced sever criticism from all corners within Pakistan.
The all-rounder, who gave a decent performance in the International Cricket Council (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
After the tournament, the Chairman of the PCB http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ijaz-Butt-c64128, made a statement in which he asked the aging players to either prove their mettle or simply walk away from the game. Butt believes that it is time to introduce new blood in the national team which
means that the old players have to bid farewell to the game.
In Afridi’s first televised interview after coming back from his stint at the English county club http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hampshire-c789, the hard-hitting batsman rebuffed many disciplinary charges against him which were levelled by the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Ijaz
Butt, where the chairman had actually accused the batsman of deliberately losing the fourth and fifth One Day International against the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 in the five-match series which Pakistan won by 3-2 after taking the first three games.
Afridi insisted that he was willing to play for the country but due to the arrogant attitude of some of the officials within the Board it was not possible for him to make a comeback.
