Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi on Friday declined an offer by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Executive Committee Chairman Najam Sethi to give him a farewell upon his retirement from international cricket.

The seasoned all-rounder took to Twitter to thank Sethi for meeting him last Sunday and offering to arrange a “fitting farewell” for him.

Afridi, however, declined to accept the farewell offer citing his ‘commitments’ and said his earlier desire for a farewell was just to “set a new trend”.

He said he was “very happy” that Test skipper Misbah-ul-Haq and master batsman Younis Khan — the veteran duo who announced retirement from international cricket this year — are being given proper farewells.

“I hope this trend will continue in the future,” the former skipper said.
