Shahid Afridi has no issues playing under Misbah-ul-Haq – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972, who is currently leading the side in all three formats of the game.
Earlier, Afridi led the side in One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 cricket whereas Misbah was given charge of the Test side.
However, things did not turn out to be good for the veteran all-rounder after the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, who went onto win the tournament.
Afridi was still retained as the captain of the side for the West Indian tour and managed to win the five-match ODI series by 3-2.
Things looked very good for the Men in Green, but Afridi slammed coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Waqar-Younis-Maitla-c96193 on his return to the country.
The 31-year-old accused the former fast bowler of interfering in the selection matters. Both were reported to be at loggerheads since the World Cup.
The entire situation did not please the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Afridi was sacked from captaincy for openly criticising the management.
This move resulted in Afridi announcing conditional retirement from international cricket. He vowed not to play under the same management again and as a result, Misbah was appointed skipper in every format of the game.
Now that the management has changed, the flamboyant all-rounder has returned to international cricket.
However, he has no issues of playing under another captain. He stated, “I think I've played under a lot of captains, maybe 11 or 12, so it's not really a big matter. The main thing is playing for Pakistan and to perform for my country and I think Misbah
is doing a great job, he really helped me out in the World Cup.”
The star player further praised Pakistan’s team effort, which helped them win the three-match Test series by 1-0.
Afridi said, “The boys have done really well. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859, [Abdur] Rehman and all the fast bowlers have contributed very well.”
Pakistan will take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 in the first ODI of the series on Friday, November 11, 2011 in Dubai.
