[1]Within five months of declaring that he does not want to play cricket, flamboyant former Pakistan captain Shaid Afridi today said he is ready to come back due to a change of guard in the PCB.
"I have decided to make myself available for Pakistan again. I had never retired from cricket I had only said I don't want to play under the previous board setup. Now that a new Chairman has taken over I want to play for Pakistan again," Afridi told reporters in Karachi.
The all-rounder had announced his retirement from international cricket in protest in late May after being stripped of the one-day captaincy following a turbulent tour to the West Indies where he developed some differences with coach, Waqar Younis.
While Waqar stepped down as coach after Pakistan's tour to Zimbabwe, Ijaz Butt was replaced by Zaka Ashraf as the new PCB chief following the completion of former's three-year tenure as the head.
