Former Pakistan test opener and selector Aamir Sohail has said that he is totally perplexed by media reporting on a bizarre request by Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi for a farewell match. Since there is no international cricket being played in Pakistan at the moment, how exactly will he have a farewell game in front of a home crowd." He reckoned a special match such as an exhibition game in Pakistan or a game dedicated to Afridi at the Pakistan Super League would make more sense. "There is absolutely no sense in an international retirement game for Afridi and one hopes that better sense prevails on all sides," he added. He also said that it would be premature to pass a judgement on Mickey Arthur's tenure as coach of the Pakistan cricket team.
