(Reuters) - Pakistan's World Cup captain Shahid Afridi has withdrawn from next month's tour to West Indies, a source at the national cricket board told Reuters on Thursday.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) source, who declined to be identified, said the all-rounder had made himself unavailable for the tour which starts on April 18.
"He will not be going to West Indies as apparently he wants to take a break from the game," said the source.
Afridi retired from test cricket in 2010 but had been expected to play in the one-dayers and Twenty20s in West Indies.
