Shahid Afridi relinquishes T20 captaincy
"Today I wish to inform my fans in Pakistan and all over the world that I am relinquishing the captaincy of the T20 Pakistani team of my own volition," Afridi said in a statement.
"For me it was a great honour to lead my country in all three formats of the game. My profound thanks to the PCB and its chairman Mr. Shahryar Khan sb. Who gave me the honour to lead the national team, he said.
Afridi said he intends to play the game for the nation and league cricket.
Afridi made the move after his side crashed out of the ICC World T20. Pakistan failed to reach the semi-finals of the event.
