[lahoriyah1234]

Lala wanted to say something but he made a joke out of it.

 

[pakistani pride]

Will change from team again next year. What was his impact this year?

Let him continue playing its his bread and butter. Shoaib Malik, is the worse Captain i have ever seen, Afridi wasn’t utilised v well, he should have came 1 down and he would have been effective could have won them early games.

 

[Markhor]

Who'd have thought a few years ago we'd still be talking about Shahid Afridi in 2019.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

As long as he takes wickets, he'll play.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

he was very well utilised in BPL was MOM in plenty of matches for his All round abilities.
pathetic to see malik still has no idea after playing with him for good 20 years or so

 

[Savak]

His fitness clearly shows that he is in his mid 40's now, back problems, knee problems. He has everything he could have asked for from Cricket and life, but he still wants to keep playing. Retirement for good is never an easy decision. Probably fears all the adulation going away but he still gets commercials and advertisements

 

[Greenstorm]

Lala can play for 2-3 more seasons, no issues at all. He is still a crowd puller and an entertainer thus important for PSL. It will be better for his foundation as well if he keeps on playing for few years.

[Mamoon]

“I don’t know who I'll play for next year but I will surely play inshaAllah"

Such an unprofessional and disrespectful statement. He is wearing a MS shirt and representing his team in a presser, and he is already wondering if he will still play for them next year.

Looks like he wants to play for every franchise once before retiring. Lahore, Islamabad and Quetta are left.

This is the problem i have with some players and coaches. Afridi has jumped from Franchise to Franchise. Wasim Akram has jumped from Franchise to Franchise. There has to be some loyalty.

there is loyalty. They are loyal to $$$

 

[Saj]

Lala in fine form.

Seems like he wanted to chat more, but the team manager cut it short

 

[Hawkeye]

Afridi is of no use.

Need to learn from Misbah who is still scoring at 44.

 

[Titan24]

There is difference in standard of cricket in BPL.

Thats why he turned his back on them?

 

[pakistani pride]

This.
His batting in PSL is a big 0.

 

[pakistani pride]

Who'd have thought a few years ago we'd still be talking about Shahid Afridi in 2019.

Afridi is all about quantity. The quality aspect left his game a long while ago.

 

[Saj]

Thats why he turned his back on them?

Listen to what he said first.

He's referring to the people of Karachi.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Does he officially have a career longer than Sachin’s?

What a legend of the game.

There will never be another Afridi.

 

[pakistani pride]

Listen to what he said first.

He's referring to the people of Karachi.

I did.
As i said if he cares so much then why not play for the Karachi franchise?

 

[pakistani pride]

Does he officially have a career longer than Sachin’s?

What a legend of the game.

There will never be another Afridi.

Nope.
You wont see a player playing on and on and on.

 

[Chokli]

his real age was 21 in 1996..

he's at least 44 right now

 

[Savak]

his real age was 21 in 1996..

he's at least 44 right now

As someone said, the Chad Michael Murray of Pakistan Cricket

 

[Saj]

I did.
As i said if he cares so much then why not play for the Karachi franchise?

If only players could play for every team they desired to.

It's the real world, not fantasy cricket.

 

[todfod 11]

He will keep playing untill no team selects him.. then he will whine n whine n whine and then retire.

 

[nextover666666]

I for one don't mind Afridi playing for every single franchise during his time with Pakistan he was the most loved cricketer in all over Pakistan and would be a good representive of each time , beside he has about 2-3 years of cricket left in him so it's not a biggie. I feel the younger players or the ones who are established In Pakistan should have loyalty with their PSL teams

 

[coy0607]

Will change from team again next year. What was his impact this year?

he did have 10 wickets in 8 games, not very noteworthy but not negligible either. Definitely below expectations, but I am sure most teams would be happy to have him for commercial reasons alone

 

[Slim]

Total legend and a total chad. Should play for 2 more seasons easily. Still a crowd puller and a superstar.

 

[pakistani pride]

If only players could play for every team they desired to.

It's the real world, not fantasy cricket.

If Afridi wanted he would be playing for Zalmi or KK. He just follows the dollars.

 

[Saj]

If Afridi wanted he would be playing for Zalmi or KK. He just follows the dollars.

It's not his call.

If players are in the draft, they can't suddenly decide I fancy playing for Team A or Team B - the bottom line is whoever picks them in the draft is who they play for.
