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. Franchise owner Nadeem Omar had last week said that Afridi told him that he would join his PSL franchise for the seventh season of the tournament set to take place in 2022. He further said that they might appoint Afridi to lead the team in place of Sarfaraz Ahmed.
Afridi also touched upon the bio-secure bubble and the controversial Kashmir Premier League in his media interaction in Karachi. He said that players are pulling out from commitments due to the constant pressure of staying inside the same environments in bio-secure bubbles.
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.
Shahid Afridi played 37 Tests, 398 ODIs and 99 T20 games for Pakistan in his international career.
