Alchemist Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 News is just in that Afridi has pulled out of Ireland series. He wants to concentrate on spending time with his ailing father: Pakistan's flamboyant allrounder Shahid Afridi has pulled out of the two-match ODI series against Ireland due to the illness of his father. According to a Geo News report, Afridi had informed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that he would not be available for the two matches in Ireland on May 28 and 30. "Afridi wants to spend time with his ailing father who is under treatment in the United States. It has nothing to do with him being removed from the One--day team captaincy," a source claimed. The Chairman of the PCB, Ijaz Butt removed Afridi as captain earlier this month and replaced him with Misbah-ul-Haq who is presently leading the team in the Test series against the West Indies.
vvvslaxman Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 It is surprising that he pulls out from such a very important series.
