Watch: "Asia Cup 2018 | PCB Announce Pakistan 16 Members Team Squad For Asia Cup 2018 | Mohammad Hafeez Drop" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MlkZmUPidU --~-- Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi has refused to attend the Pakistan Cricket Board's PCB event 2017. https://youtu.be/UhyuAGQPtb8 As per details, the 37-year-old announced his decision while talking to PCB Chief Najam Sethi. The veteran all-rounder would be in action in the Afghan Cricket League (ACL) from September 11. He is the only Pakistani participating in the T20 league. Currently, Afridi is in the United Kingdom to play the Twenty20 Blast — representing Hampshire. Previously, Afridi has turned down an offer for a farewell from the board, citing personal commitments. He was offered a farewell event by Sethi during a meeting in Dubai on April 23. Afridi last played for Pakistan in 2016 during the World T20 in India. Following Pakistan's early exit from the tournament, Afridi desired for a proper farewell match, which he couldn't get. The annual awards of the PCB were held in Lahore and attended by former cricketers Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar and Waqar Younis. The award ceremony was also attended by members of World XI team who are currently touring Pakistan. PCB has awarded the media rights for the event exclusively to a private sports channel superseding the state-owned PTV Sports and other channels. It is also unusual that sports channels are given the rights to broadcast award ceremonies. However, Afridi was told that a farewell reception will be provided if he attends the awards ceremony, which speaks for the treatment of national heroes who should be lauded for their contribution to cricket. Younis Khan had already announced to boycott the farewell ceremony saying that it was unnecessary as he had retired four months earlier. He also said that he cannot forget what he had gone through in the PCB when he was a player. Former cricketer Tanveer Ahmed said that it was not unusual that there is a rocky relationship between the cricket board and top players. However, the attitude towards players is a mockery and shows that dismal direction in which the cricket board is being held. He said the cricket will prosper if the PCB chairman Najam Sethi takes the board forward along with the players, which is more important than the Pakistan Super League or other international series. He also decried that the media rights were issued to just one channel. Breaking - Pakistan Super League Best Moments - You will Enjoy PSL https://youtu.be/_dPldU2RU20
