Top Ten reasons Shahid Afridi quit Test cricket
- Prefers fresh minty taste of white cricket balls
- Can only tell Akmal brothers apart when names are written on back of shirts
- Enraged that opposition teams cheat by batting for more than 20 overs
- Staying one step ahead of the PCB
- Couldn’t maintain rigorous schedule of 27 tests over 12 years
- Wanted more time to hang out with friends and play sport
- Eerie, near silence of a vuvuzela free stadium just isn’t cricket, old boy
- Pressure of not pointing and laughing at Doug Bollinger’s ‘hair’ just builds up for five days until you snap and play a really dumb-ass shot
- Wasn’t sure people had noticed the first time he retired
And the main reason…
- Watson and North on the Lords honours board undermined the credibility of the entire format
