Afridi denies saying he will quit cricket if he fails to perform | Pakistan vice-captain Shahid Afridi has denied reports
of quitting the game in case he fails to perform in the forthcoming Champions Trophy event, scheduled to commence from the September 23. Categorically denying
reports appearing in the press which quoted him as saying that he may quit the
game if he flopped during the mega event in South Africa, Afridi said he had no
such plans and was determined to do well in the Trophy matches. "I never said
any such thing to anyone on Friday as reported in the press," the Dawn quoted
him, as saying. "I am a mature, professional cricketer who fully fathoms the trends
and experiences the game has to offer. Obviously, I want to do well in the Champions
Trophy, which is like a mini World Cup with all top teams participating," Afridi
said. He added: "I will be disappointed if I fail to deliver during the event.
But I have no plans of giving up the game after that. In fact, I am enjoying the
game more than ever now." The charismatic all-rounder added that no player wanted
to hang around for long if he was not succeeding at the top level and he was no
different. "Of course, when you are not performing at the top level you do feel
awful and think about taking a break or calling it a day. But by the grace of
God, I have successfully overcome my lean patches in the past and have come back
stronger," Afridi concluded. |
