Karachi: Pakistan’s star all-rounder Shahid Afridi has given hint that he will represent Pakistan in the upcoming limited-overs series against England rather than Bangladesh Premier League.
The all-rounder bought by the Dhaka Gladiators for a whopping USD 700,000 at Thursday’s player auction.
The inaugural Twenty20 tournament, which runs from 9 to 28 February, clashes with the one-dayers in the United Arab Emirates, with the four ODIs and three T20Is running from 13 to 27 February.
Shahid Afridi said that this was really unfortunately the dates of the league conflict directly with the series against England. So, I have decided to skip the Bangladesh event as national duty is more important.
