who can replace the senior players in the coming years.
However, Afridi does not agree with this and feels that he is still an asset for the country and wants to win as many matches for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 as possible. Boom Boom has made it clear that he will never become a burden on the national team.
Afridi said, "I just want to be an asset for Pakistan team, and I don't set long-term targets. As long I'll be fit and I keep on performing for the team, I will continue to play. The day I feel I have become a burden, I will quit."
While talking about his game, Afridi expressed that he is always looking to eradicate his weaknesses.
“I haven't set any plans, and training to regain good form is my only target. I will focus on bringing improvement in my batting as I want to perform well in this area," former Pakistan captain added.
