Re: Breaking News: Shahid Afridi Retires From Test Cricket
Personally, I think if he concentrates on ODI's it will be of great benefit to Pakistan. His retirement from test cricket is a loss but it was always difficult to accomodate two all rounders in a test team.
I agree with first part, he is very likely over-reacting. It is not good thing to quit cricket just because you have competition, even if it was "difficult" thats not good enough reason to quit. Afridi's quitting provides relief to Shoaib Malik and Razzaq (more than Malik) :D
And as per news from Cricinfo posted by Ganja, he would "reconsider" means that he had issues with Inzi on Test selections thats why he might comeback after WC'07 as Inz will VERY LIKELY quit post WC.
