"I wanted to end PSL on a good note but I have been playing with the lower-back injury for 15-16 years now and the pain is quite intense where I feel it in my groin, knee and even the fingers of the foot," Afridi said.
Afridi revealed that he will undergo rehab for a few months and will look to take part in Kashmir Premier League (KPL).
"Health is everything and I can't further endure the pain."
Meanwhile, Afridi thanked Gladiators' owner Nadeem Omar and also apologised for not playing further in the tournament.
"I will come back on the field once again for my fans, keep me in your prayers," Afridi concluded.
It must be noted that Afridi played three games for Gladiators and picked three wickets.
