ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief and former cricket captain Imran Khan on Tuesday lashed out at Shahid Afridi over unsatisfactory performance as captain in World Twenty and Asia Cup.
A talent hunt trial for fast bowlers was organized at Islamabad’s Diamond Cricket Ground in which as many as 35 bowlers participated.
Talking to media on the occasion, Imran Khan said Afridi’s performance as T20 captain was disappointing and that he didn’t act on the instructions given before Pakistan and India tie.
Lauding Test captain’s stunning leadership, Khan said that if Misbah was T20 captain, the situation could have been better.
“Changing the coach and manager instead of reframing the cricket structure would never give fruitful results”, he added.
Earlier, Shahid Afridi stepped down as captain in the game’s shortest format following Pakistan’s early exit from the World Twenty20 tournament.
“I never thought I’d be on this level and play cricket for Pakistan team,” he added.
