Shahid Afridi hints at retirement after next year's PSL


 Shahid Afridi looks set to finally call time on his playing career, strongly suggesting next year's season at the Pakistan super League will be his last. Afridi, whos is currently with multan sultans and spent two seasons at Peshawar Zalmi and one at Karachi kings, expressed a desire to represent a fourth franchise. Quetta Gladiator's in his final season.


 Afridi last played international circket for Pakistan more than five year's ago in 2017, but has continued to take part in the PSL ever since its inception well into his forties.

 He captained Zalmi in the first season and was part of the team that won the title the following year.His current franchise, sultans, are the defending champions, having beaten Zalmi in the final in june. Afridi played a part in the first half of this year's edition before missing the UAE leg with a back injury.


 "May be this ends up being my last PSL", Afridi told reporters. "I would like to play for Quetta Gladiator's this season, provided Multan allow me to leave. If Nadeem Omar and Quettas Owner's want to have me, I would love to represent them".


 Should Afridi retire next season, he would walk away from the PSL as one of its most successful all-rounders. To date Afridi has 44 wickets in 50 PSL games at an economy rate of 6.97.That place him eighth on the all time list; no one who has taken more wickets and conceded fewer than seven runs per over. While relatively less stressful with the bat, he has still had an impact.


 The 2021 PSL will take place in January and February after it was moved to an earlier window to avoid a clash with the IPL and squeeze in a tour by Australia.
