KARACHI: A sense of national duty prevailed over money as flamboyant all-rounder Shahid Afridi, after hitting the jackpot at the auction for the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), confirmed that he will miss the Twenty20 tournament and instead turn out for Pakistan against England.
Afridi was sold to the Dhaka franchise for $700,000 – the highest bid for any player in the auction – and would have featured in the tournament to be played from February 9 to 28. However, Afridi, the first choice for all the bidders, expressed his unavailability for the Bangladesh league.
‘I won’t take part in the BPL,” Afridi told The Express Tribune from Australia where the all-rounder is taking part in the Big Bash League.
“It’s clashing with the limited-overs series against England in the UAE and that’s my focus. My preference has always been my national team and I’m looking forward to giving my best against England.”
The experienced cricketer, however, felt honoured to have been sold for the highest amount, adding that he was ‘happy that I’ve been chosen above many famed cricketers’.
Afridi also confirmed that he will not be taking pat in the earlier matches which do not clash with Pakistan’s schedule.
“I’ll utilise those days for training. I can only think about playing in the league when I don’t have national commitments.”
Earlier, the all-rounder also expressed his unavailability for the opening stages of the South Africa domestic Twenty20 competition.
Saeed Ajmal ($100,000), Rana Naved ($100,000) and Imran Nazir ($85,000) were also bought by Dhaka Gladiators. West Indians Chris Gayle and Kieron Pollard, and Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik ($150,000) were among the other foreign players sold in the auction.

What can I say. I salute him for the decision but it's sad for me that he won't play in BD.

 

[Avisheik]

How come no Indian players?

BCCI declined BCB's request due to domestic schedule

 

[extra terrestrial]

^^ it will be a flop! because busy schedule of international players... we are getting only West indies players! and Business Mughals in BD avoided buying teams. I dont know why!!!

They didn't have good experience investing in NCL and PCL so this time stayed away from investing on BPL cause of lack of confidence!! I think its the fault of BCB that they couldn't convince them!! Everything depends on the first season, if its successful then both the new and existing teams (if given sell) will generate bigger amounts!!

Its actually a drama to portrait himself as a patriotic person!! He'll be playing from 27th Feb, the deal already said that he'll be available to play only the semi and the final if Dhaka qualifies which won't clash with his internation commitments!!

Nevertheless, I'm a big fan of Afridi and glad that my home division Dhaka bought him!!
