Retired Afridi to try for comeback soon


Within weeks of announcing retirement from international cricket, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi on Wednesday said he would try making a comeback to the national team as soon as "conditions improve in the team management and administration."


Afridi left for England to play for Hampshire on Wednesday insisting that his international career was still not over.



The all-rounder, who was removed as captain of the national one-day team last month and then got entangled into a tussle with the Pakistan Cricket Board before being fined Rs 4.5 million on disciplinary grounds, will appear for Hampshire in the English domestic Twenty20 competition.


“I am happy that I am getting a chance to play for Hampshire because wherever I play at the end of the day I am recognized as a Pakistani and if I do well it is Pakistan cricket that gets a good name,” Afridi told reporters at the airport.
