LONDON: Captain Shahid Afridi take decision to retire from Test cricket following the second Test against Australia at Headingley starting next Wednesday.
“My temperament is not good enough to Test cricket and we need a proper batsman or a proper bowler. “I injured by side in the Asia Cup and am still struggling. I can’t carry it in Test cricket where you need to be at full fitness. I’m enjoying one-day and Twenty20 so I’ll concentrate on that. It’s very difficult playing Tests after four years so it’s better to leave this cricket.
Ijaz Butt, the PCB chairman said “We’ll make some decision when he comes and tells us but as of now we have not been informed,”mAfridi made the surprising announcement to BBC Radio after leading Pakistan in a 150-run defeat in the first Test at Lord’s.
