Pakistan
captain Mohamed Yousuf has said that
Afridi’s ball tampering incident
has brought a bad name to Pakistan
cricket.
He also hoped that his T20 captain
will not repeat the same in the future.
"I don't know why he did it but
it brought a bad name to the country.
The good thing is that at least he
realised his mistake and admitted
it. I hope he does not repeat it again.
Pakistan cricket does not need such
incidents"—he said.
After being whitewashed in both Tests
and ODI series Yousuf said he has
done a fair job as captain and would
like to continue as the Pakistan skipper.
"I accepted the captaincy for
these difficult tours at a time when
no player was willing to accept this
challenge. I think I have done a decent
job and I want to continue as captain,
I will not resign"—he said.
Yousuf has admitted that their fielding
and bowling has led their team down.
"I admit our performance was
bad throughout the series, it was
an unsuccessful tour for us, but the
results against Australia could have
been better but our fielding and batting
let us down"—he said.
