Afridi Voluntarily Offers To Leave ‘A’ Category Of Central Contract

 Pakistan former captain Shahid Afridi has voluntarily offered to leave the ‘A’ category of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) central contract. Shahid Afridi is of the view that his performance in the last years or so in not up to the mark therefore he should not be selected in ‘A’ category and should be placed in ‘B’ category.

However PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf has rejected the offer of Shahid Afridi and has stated that this decision is final and will not be changed. Shahid Afridi decision was a very unique one as in Pakistan cricketers have never offered these type of things. When cricketers themselves take this type of decisions it shows that how much they are dedicated towards their game.
When PCB announced central contract for cricketers Shahid Afridi and Younis Khan was surprised to see his name in ‘A’ category. Both Afridi and Younis are not in the squad for ICC Champions Trophy which is to be held in England but both were awarded ‘A’ category. Zaka Ashraf has advised Afridi to focus on performance and return to national squad
