The key player responsible for the Pakistan’s success in the shorter form of the game Shahid Afridi said that the short gap between the just-completed Twenty20 World Cup and next year's edition has robbed Pakistan of full enjoyment of its triumph

"I fail to understand why the next World Cup will be played in nine months time,”

"If it's being organized after two years, people would have remembered Pakistan's victory and it would have been more enjoyable.

"It should have been scheduled a bit later, but cricket is no more a sport, it's becoming a business everywhere." Afridi told reporters on Wednesday.

In his interview the power hitter also gave credit to coach Intikhab Alam, bowling coach Aaqib Javed and captain Younis Khan for the victory.

It is to be noted that Alam was the coach of Pakistan team which won the 50-over-a-side World Cup in Australia in 1992.

"We all know how important this World Cup was with so much happening in Pakistan," he ended.
