Afridi happy to be back for Pakistan
SHARJAH: Popular all-rounder Shahid Afridi Monday said he has put all off-field problems behind him after guiding Pakistan to an impressive series win over Sri Lanka.
The 31-year-old hit a fighting 75 to lift Pakistan from a precarious 120-7 to 200 before taking 5-35 to derail Sri Lanka from 155-3 to 174 all out at Sharjah stadium on Sunday, giving his team an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series.
That all-round performance capped Afridi's return to international cricket after he fell out with former coach Waqar Younis and ex-chairman Pakistan Cricket Board Ijaz Butt which saw him retire in protest.
Afridi, who only returned after Butt was replaced by Zaka Ashraf last month, said performing well is now more important for him.
"I think action speaks louder than words, a lot has been said but now I want to be a good cricketer and want to perform," said Afridi, who became the only player to score a half-century and take five wickets in the same one-day on two occasions.
His off-field problems had threatened an early finish to a high flying career during which he had been popular for his dashing strokeplay, more so among Pathans who hail from the same North-West Frontier Province in Pakistan as Afridi does.
