Shahid Afridi has finally revealed that why he left Peshawar Zalmi.
He previously tweeted about parting ways with the team after two seasons with the team.
“There are a few personal things that I don’t want highlighted in the media,” said Afridi while talking to Saleem Safi in Geo News’ programme Jirga. “I saw Javed’s vision changing with time. I didn’t want to be a hindrance in his new goals and vision. I have a lot of commitments to my own foundation, so I wouldn’t be able to give my services completely to him also. There a lot of projects of my foundation that I need to set my focus on.”
On a question if the decision will affect the relationship that both Afridi’s families share, the 37-year-old said:
“These things don’t affect our families’ friendship and relation.”
“I wanted to take this decision after the PSL final but I had to fulfill a few commitments with Peshawar Zalmi so I delayed it a little. However, I did want to win the PSL with Peshawar Zalmi and we did that.”
