Pakistan Board cautions Afridi over selection comments

KARACHI, (Reuters) – The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)  has asked one-day captain Shahid Aridi to avoid making critical comments on selection issues after he told the Express television channel he had not been given two or three players he  wanted for a forthcoming series against South Africa.

A PCB spokesman said a letter had been sent to Afridi asking  him to refrain from making controversial comments in the media.

“Yes, I wanted two or three players in the side and I didn’t  get them and I will speak to the chairman of the board on some  other issues as well,” Afridi told the channel.

Afridi said later he would respond to the letter as he  always had the interests of the team at heart.
