سابق کپتان معین خان نے آل رائونڈر شاہد آفریدی کو کرکٹ سے کچھ عرصے تک دوری اختیار کرنے کا مشورہ دے دیا۔
میڈیا سے بات چیت میں انھوں نے کہا کہ میں اس تاثر سے متفق نہیں کہ آفریدی کو ریٹائرمنٹ کا اعلان کر دینا چاہیے، وہ اب بھی مزید چند سال ملک کیلیے خدمات انجام دے سکتا ہے،اسے کرکٹ سے وقفہ لیتے ہوئے کچھ وقت اہل خانہ کے ساتھ گذارنا چاہیے، اس صورت میں وہ دورئہ بھارت سے قبل تروتازہ اور پُراعتماد ہو کر واپس آئے گا۔ انھوں نے کہا کہ بیٹنگ میں اعتماد کی کمی آفریدی کی مجموعی کارکردگی پر اثر انداز ہو رہی ہے مگر اس کی کرکٹ ابھی ختم نہیں ہوئی۔ یاد رہے ٹی ٹوئنٹی ورلڈکپ میں بدترین ناکامی کا شکار ہونے کے بعد بعض حلقے آفریدی سے ریٹائرمنٹ کا مطالبہ کر رہے ہیں۔

معین خان نے آل رائونڈر عبدالرزاق کو بھی سپورٹ کیا جو کپتان محمد حفیظ پر تنقید کی پاداش میں بورڈ سے شوکاز نوٹس وصول کر چکے ہیں، سابق وکٹ کیپر نے کہا کہ عبدالرزاق کو ایسا بیان نہیں دینا چاہیے تھا تاہم سیمی فائنل نہ کھلانے پر فرسٹریشن کا شکار ہو کر انھوں نے یہ کیا،اس میں کوئی شک نہیں کہ اتنا اہم میچ نہ کھلا کر آل رائونڈر کے ساتھ ناانصافی کی گئی تھی، ان کے تجربے کو دیکھتے ہوئے حفیظ کی جانب سے ڈراپ کرنے کا فیصلہ درست نہ تھا۔ انھوں نے ٹیم کیلیے کوچ ڈیو واٹمور کے کردار پر سوال اٹھاتے ہوئے کہا کہ مجھے بتائیں کہ ان کے عہدہ سنبھالنے کے بعد ٹیم میں کیا بہتری آئی ہے۔

KARACHI: Shahid Afridi may be out of form but still has plenty of support.

Despite a woeful performance at the recently-concluded World Twenty20 that triggered calls for his exit, former captain Moin Khan believes the all-rounder still has firepower left to serve the country.

Afridi failed miserably with the bat, while also leaving fans disappointed with an ordinary show with the ball. The star all-rounder’s below-par show in the tournament has been dubbed as one of the main reasons for Pakistan’s failure to win the title.


However, Moin opposed the notion that Afridi was a spent force.


“Afridi can still serve the country,” the former captain told reporters while responding to queries on Afridi’s future. “He shouldn’t retire but should take some rest that will help him regain his form.


“I also advise the same to Imran Nazir who also struggled in the tournament.”


‘PCB should be lenient with Razzaq’


Meanwhile, the former wicket-keeper, while speaking on the issue regarding Abdul Razzaq who faces disciplinary action from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), said the reaction from the all-rounder was natural.


Razzaq blasted captain Mohammad Hafeez for snubbing him for the semi-final against Sri Lanka after which the all-rounder was slapped with a showcause notice by the PCB.


“Razzaq’s comments were not appropriate,” said Moin. “But he should have played in the World Twenty20. Razzaq’s reaction was natural as he knows he does have some time left in his career.”


Moin also backed Hafeez as captain. “Hafeez showed good signs of captaincy. He should be given more time but he will need to learn from his mistakes.” However, Moin questioned coach Dav Whatmore’s performance, saying the team has
hardly shown any improvement since he took charge earlier this year.

If you feel that afridi and few other lads are the only people left in Pakistan for our poor cricket team, then fine keep them..!!

If you feel, we have loads of talented cricket players in Pakistan, then we should kick these afridis and nazirs where it really hurts.. and get rid of them once and for all..!!

Afridi is one of the most gifted bowlers in Pakistan's history. His batting has always been a treat to watch. His experience in international cricket is valuable to our team, not the mention the morale boost for the youngsters for having him on our side.
He has served our team for more than 15 years and his performance was always good.
Sometimes even the best of the best need to take a break... 2010-2012 has been a tough time because of IPL, BPL T20s etc...
After some time he will start enjoying the game again.. he still has a long career ahead of him

KARACHI: Shahid Afridi was forced to cancel his scheduled press conference after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) ordered to avoid media interaction, stated a close aide of the all-rounder.

Afridi, who returned on Saturday after featuring for Hampshire in the Champions League T20 qualifiers, had planned to hold a talk in Karachi yesterday.
The 32-year-old, going through a lean patch with both bat and ball, was believed to discuss reasons for his poor performance at the World Twenty20.
Afridi was told by the PCB not to hold any such media conference, said the aide. He was reminded about the central contract clause which bars a player from such acts without the boards permission.
The PCB officials did it to avoid further controversy in the World Twenty20 fall-out. Its already unimpressed by Abdul Razzaqs outburst regarding Mohammad Hafeez.

ذلت آمیز شکست اور گھٹیا کارکردگی کہ بعد اب اس نے یہ وطیرہ بنا لیا ہے کہ وطن واپسی پر ایک منافقانہ نام نہاد پریس کونفرنس کرو، انشاللہ، ماشاللہ، الله نے چاہا، اگلی سیریز ، نیکسٹ کپ، آپ دعا کریں جیسے الفاظ سے قوم کو مزید بیوقوف بناتے ہوے خود مال بناتے جاؤ، بھائی یہ اگلے ٢ سال بھی ایسی کارکردگی دکھاے تو اس کا کام تو چلتا رہے گا ملک اور قوم کا بھلا کون سوچتا ہے? رنگبازی اس پر ختم ہے. جعلی اور گھٹیا ہیرو
