Afridi resigns as captain of Pakistan's T-20 team

Shahid Afridi today stepped down as captain of Pakistan's T-20 team. In a short statement issued in Karachi, the 36 year old all rounder, however, said that he will be available for the One day Internationals. Afridi played 27 Tests for Pakistan before retiring from the format in 2010 with 1716 runs and 48 wickets. Ninety-eight T20 International appearances have fetched him 1405 runs and 97 wickets. In 398 ODIs, he has 8064 runs and 395 wickets. Afridi was of late facing criticism for Pakistan's dismal show in the ICC World Twenty20.
