LAHORE: Pakistan’s ODI and T20 captain Shahid Afridi, in his reply to the PCB show-cause notice, has insisted that he did not say anything wrong in his views to media.
The PCB had served the all-rounder a notice on Tuesday and Afridi promptly sent a reply in the evening, contending that his only focus in the TV interview was to urge the need for collective wisdom in selection since the Pakistan cricket has been facing serious challenges in the recent months.
“My intention was very much clear. I feel the current challenges to Pakistan cricket demand that all should sit together to take important decisions,” he said in his reply, Dawn learnt on authority.
Reliable sources in the Board confirmed that neither Afridi nor Test captain Misbah-ul-Haq were allowed to give their input in teams’ selection for the SA series, which is a clear reflection of Ijaz Butt’s desire to run a one-man show in the PCB.
