Shahid Afridi in trouble

Shahid Afridi is in trouble over his remarks over team selection,The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is considering sidelining limited-overs captain Shahid Afridi from the Ireland series that starts after the West Indies tour. Afridi, who confirmed receiving a letter from the PCB demanding an explanation of the remarks made on team management’s interference during the Caribbean tour, returned to Pakistan after the completion of the limited-overs matches.
However, the PCB, irked by the comments, stated that Afridi is likely to be dropped from the Ireland series until the submission of the tour report at the end of the West Indies Test series.
“He won’t be selected until the submission of the tour report,” a PCB official told “Afridi’s future is in jeopardy as PCB ponders over the idea of a long-term captain.”
Afridi, according to the PCB official, was never the ideal option for captaincy and was given the role on a series-to-series basis.
The official said that the PCB Chairman Ijaz Butt is looking to hand over the role to a long-term prospect and Misbahul Haq is being tipped to become the limited-overs captain with opener Mohammad Hafeez as the deputy.
