In the same interaction, Afridi has also announced that the next PSL edition would be his last and he would love to play for the  Quetta Gladiators.

Regarding KPL he said “There is a dearth of facilities when it comes to cricket, therefore, businessmen should cooperate to promote cricket,” the former Pakistan all-rounder added.
