Pakistan’s limited-overs captain Shahid Afridi took a U-turn on his statement against Waqar Younis’ interference in selection matters saying there was no rift within the team management involving him and the coach. A day after Afridi was sent a show-cause notice by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for his comments over the differences in team management, the seasoned all-rounder said the team and officials should develop “better coordination” for next year’s World Twenty20 Championship in Sri Lanka.
“I always say everyone should do their own job and it is not appropriate to interfere in the matters of others. I am responsible for my work and others are responsible for theirs,” he told reporters on his return from Guyana on Sunday. The Pakistan Cricket Board has taken notice of the statements made by Shahid Afridi in the media about the differences within the tour management in West Indies.
It is a violation of the Code of Conduct on part of Afridi and an explanation has been sought from him. The PCB will take appropriate action after submission of the tour report at the conclusion of the tour, said a PCB statement.
