Pakistans flamboyant all-rounder Shahid Afridi, has said that he has no plans to quit playing cricket anytime soon, and is keen to represent the country internationally.
"I don't think my career is over and I am enjoying myself and I will continue to play at the highest level. As far as Pakistan selection is concerned that is for the selectors to decide," he said reported PTI.
The announcement comes amid speculation that he has sought a farewell match from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), the all-rounder has said that he is too experienced and seasoned a cricketer to make such a demand and ruled out calling it quits anytime soon.
"I have played 20 years of international cricket for Pakistan and not the PCB. And I am not dependent on anyone for a match. The love and support I have got and get from my well wishers and fans is enough reward for me," Afridi told the media on Sunday.
The statements come, after he demanded PCB to grant him a farewell match in September, "A farewell match is my right," said the cricketer. It was learnt that Afridi was selected in the Pakistan squad for the series against West Indies. However, he was later dropped off by the board.
However, PCB's senior official Najam Sethi stated that he had no issues with Afridi and admired his services to Pakistan cricket.
