AFRIDI ENDS INTERNATIONAL CAREER
All-rounder Shahid Afridi on Sunday announced his retirement from international cricket, ending an illustrious and sometimes controversial 21-year career. “I will continue to play this league (PSL) for another two years but it’s goodbye from international cricket,” he said. The 36-year-old star had already quit Tests in 2010 and ODI cricket after the 2015 World Cup but still skippered the Pakistan Twenty20 team at the 2016 world championships in India. He stepped down as captain after the tournament. He finishes his international career having played just 27 Test matches which yielded 1,176 runs. He played 398 ODIs with 8,064 runs and 98 T20 internationals with 1,405 runs.
