Shahid Afridi has left for London to launch his career as a retired player when he will debut in Hampshire for Friends of Pro-T20 clash against Essex Eagles at Chelmsford. Afridi, who announced retirement from international cricket in a bitter dispute with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is pleased to return to action in cricket. “I’m really keen to get back in operation,” Afridi said. “The last week has been pretty frustrating, but thankfully it’s over now,” he said. Until a few days ago, it seemed that Afridi will not be able to perform his duties with lucrative Hampshire where he was busy fighting in court against the PCB.
