After http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rashid-Latif-c84084, also feels that the hard-hitting all-rounder should
withdraw his retirement notion.
Latif, who represented Pakistan in 37 Tests and 166 One Day International (ODI) matches, said on Friday that, “at the time when former skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Ali-Khan-c89356 Afridi is transmitting mixed signals about his return to the international scene, I feel that it is
high time the dynamic all-rounder should review his decision.”
The former wicket-keeper batsman further added that Afridi should still be relieved to see himself as a cherished cricketer in Pakistan, evident to which was the recent turn around during the ongoing Faysal Bank Twenty20 (T20) competition, where spectators,
in big numbers, turned up to see their ‘Boom Boom’ Afridi play as Karachi Dolphins’ Captain.
During the all-rounders recent performance against the Islamabad Leopards on September 29, Afridi picked up 3 wickets, and whacked an imposing sum of 58 off 32 balls, with the aid of 7 boundaries and 2 sixes.
Afridi’s career with the Men in Green recently came under fire after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) asked the 31-year-old to step down as the team Captain, just when Afridi had led his squad to a successful overseas tour against the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760.
The matter took more hype after Afridi slammed the Board and its infamous Chairman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 tour.
As for Latif, the former Skipper stated that Afridi still has a lot of ground to cover under the international circle and that he is fit to go on.
“You can’t judge how much time is left in a player by his age; even in the present team a few players don’t seem to have too much time in their hands. The point is that Afridi is able and fit, therefore he should listen to the people’s call and make a comeback,”
said Latif.
