Shahid Afridi ended his Big Bash League's contract

"I ended my contract with Big Bash League",Afridi:

Shahid Afridi, the Pakistan allrounder, has said he will not play for Sydney Thunder despite being given permission by the PCB to take part in Australia's Big Bash League. Afridi said he wanted to play in Pakistan's domestic Twenty20 tournament instead and that clashes with Australia's Twenty20 competition.

 "I have ended my contract in the Big Bash League, because I want to play in the national event to improve my form and justify my selection in the team," Afridi.

Shahid Afridi need well performance to earn place in team

Shahid Afridi make a role in domestic T20 to pick for India's tour:

While Pakistan will look to select as many experienced players as possible for their limited-overs tour of India in December, Shahid Afridi will not be a sure pick, according to chief selector Iqbal Qasim.

"India tours have always been tough ones," Qasim said in Lahore. "We are wary about India being a very strong host and we want to pick a combination very carefully. Expect no sweeping changes. We need to strengthen the combination with experience but there is always room for an outstanding young talent.

"Nobody, not even Afridi, gets an automatic place in the side at the moment. Afridi is a fine player and has performed well in past, but the upcoming [domestic] Twenty20 cup is the opportunity for him to perform and we will watch him. I am optimistic about him, as he has done a lot in past and still has a lot of cricket left in him."

Shahid Afridi May Not Be Able To Play Three T20 Matches Due To Thum's Injury Against Australia:

Manager of the Pakistan cricket team, Naveed Akram Cheema, said that the management was awaiting the doctor’s feedback on injuries Afridi received during the third and final ODI against Australia.

The availability of the all-rounder depends on the doctor’s feedback on the two stitches he received on his left hand thumb.

“We will take a decision after hearing from doctors,” Cheema told The Express Tribune from Dubai.

The T20 series will start on Wednesday, September 5 and end on September 10.

Meanwhile, another official associated with the team feared that the former captain might miss out on a couple of matches.

“Normally, stitches require three to five days to recover and Afridi might not be available for the first two matches.”
