Afridi, Razzaq contemplating retiring from Test cricket ?
May 21st, 2010 - 5:09 pm ICT by ANILahore, May 21 (ANI): Pakistan T20 skipper Shahid Afridi along with all rounder Abdul Razzaq are reportedly planning to bid adieu to Test cricket.
According to sources, both Afridi and Razzaq, who last played an international five-day game in 2006, would meet the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt to convey their decision regarding retiring from Test cricket.
“They are not interested in playing Test matches any longer and just want to concentrate on extending their international careers in the one-day internationals and Twenty20 matches,” The Daily Times quoted sources, as saying.
They also said neither Afridi nor Razzaq are interested in touring England for the Test series against the hosts and Australia in July, as they want to spend their time with their families. (ANI)
