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. |
