Shahid Afridi Say’s Good Bye to International Cricket

Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi announced his retirement from international cricket. The reason said by him for sudden retirement from international cricket is that he was humiliated by the Pakistan cricket board (PCB). 

 "There is nothing bigger than a man's respect, and the way the board has treated me, there is a limit to everything," an emotional, angry Afridi told Geo TV from London"

Recently he was removed as captain for ODI. He said that will not like to play under the present Pakistan cricket board. Shahid Afridi also said that if the cricket board changes he may rethink about his retirement from International cricket.
