"Now I want my fans in Pakistan and around the world to give up the captaincy of Pakistan T20 team itself," Afridi said in a statement. "I would also like to announce that InshaAllah I want to continue to play for my country and cricket leagues, etc., and I ask my fans to continue to pray and support me as long as I play for Pakistan or for any other major league teams in the world
After the World Cup in 2015, Afridi, 36, announced his intention to retire from international cricket after the World T20 in India. Earlier this year, however, he said that he faced "enormous pressure" to family and friends who do not.
