Shahid Afridi said that he came out of international retirement and will be ready for selection for Pakistan’s one-day team, and fans everywhere that follow the cricket odds are very eager to see him play for his country again.
Cricket online betting fans saw that in May, Afridi retired in protest at the Pakistan Cricket Board after a public row with coach Waqar Younis. Since then, Younis quit his role and Ijaz Butt was replaced by Zaka Ashraf as board chairman, and many fans that pay attention to the cricket odds remember very well when this happened.
“I didn’t as such retire, I only said I wouldn’t play under the previous board,” said Afridi. “I had problems with the previous board and team management and I had made it clear they didn’t allow me to enjoy my cricket for Pakistan.
“Now that the board and team management set-ups are changed I am ready to play for my country and available for selection. I feel I still have a few years of cricket left in me.”The player’s fans, especially those in Pakistan, know that there is plenty of cricket left in him, and can’t wait to see him back in action, making great performances.
Afridi, who was able to lead his team to the 2011 World Cup semi-finals with great cricket odds, added: “My only desire is to play for Pakistan again and I welcome the new chairman of the board and am confident he will improve things in Pakistan cricket.”
Cricket online betting fans saw that Afridi, who played in 325 one-day matches and 27 tests with very good cricket odds, had a controversial career and was fined and banned twice by the International Cricket Council.
Fans everywhere that closely follow Pakistan’s cricket odds are very happy to see the player return, and would like to see him make great performances for his side, as he can definitely be of great help to his country.
