LAHORE: Pakistan limited-overs captain Shahid Afridi has been issued a warning by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to abstain from airing his views in front of the media.
Afridi, who was recently retained as captain for the One-Day Internationals and the Twenty20s for the series against South Africa in the UAE, had expressed his reservations over team selection for the series.
He had hinted at the lack of communication among the selection committee, coach and the captain and had also questioned the practice of selecting a captain after announcing the squad, citing it as a ‘big problem’.
The captain had also urged the PCB chairman to have discussions with the selection committee and the coach in order to resolve the issue. “I wanted a team with everyone’s consensus so that the captain takes responsibility of the results without any question in mind.”
