Afridi says he may quit cricket if he does not perform | | Flamboyant Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi has said he may consider quitting
cricket if he does not perform according to his potential in the Champions Trophy
beginning September 22 in South Africa. "If I am not that successful in Champions
Trophy, then I may consider quitting the game for good," The Daily Times quoted
Afridi, as saying. Afridi, who has recently been appointed the vice-captain of
the team replacing Misbah-ul-Haq, said he is eagerly waiting for the eight nation
trophy. "A lot depends on my performance in the Champions Trophy in South Africa
and I am looking forward to this tough event," he said. Pakistan is placed in
group A of the tournament with India, Australia and the West Indies. Afridi has
already made it clear that being the ICC World T20 champions, Pakistan will be
under tremendous pressure in the Champions Trophy. "Carrying the tag of T20 World
Cup winners into Champions Trophy means there are automatically going to be a
lot of expectations from us to do well. The way we won T20 World Cup means we
have the ability to win the Champions Trophy, but the only thing is we have to
develop mindset to handle pressure as well," Afridi said. He said there is no
additional pressure on him after being appointed the vice-captain, and stressed
that he would continue his natural 'boom boom' style during the Champions Trophy. |
