A move to give Shahid Afridi a farewell during the T20Is between Pakistan and West Indies in the UAE has not materialised, with the former captain left out of the squad for the three matches. The PCB confirmed the move had come from selection committee head, Inzamam-ul-Haq, but it fell through in the absence of the board chairman Shaharyar Khan, who is recovering from surgery, and executive committee head Najam Sethi, who is on vacation in England.Afridi had plans to retire at the end of the 2016 World T20 in India and Shaharyar had confirmed this earlier in the year saying, He is also a Pathan and I am also a Pathan and once the agreement is done between two Pathans it cant be changed. However, before the tournament, Afridi revealed that he was reconsidering his retirement due to huge pressure from friends and family.Following Pakistans poor performance at the World T20, and criticism surrounding his leadership, Afridi stepped down as captain but chose to continue playing in the format. However, he has not played for Pakistan since then, with the new selection committee not seeing him as a part of their plans for the side. Afridi had succeeded Mohammad Hafeez as Pakistans T20 captain in September 2014. In his second stint as captain, Afridi led the side to 11 victories in 24 matches but his personal form dipped. He averaged 14.65 during this period with a best of 49, and took 20 wickets.After the 2016 World T20, Afridi turned out for Hampshire in Natwest t20 Blast the scoring 191 runs at 17.36 in 12 matches and taking nine wickets. He also played only one match in the recent domestic National T20 tournament, before pulling out due to fitness concerns. He reportedly underwent an MRI scan on his knee and was later trained in Karachi as a part of injury rehabilitation. He was also optimistic that he would be selected for the series against West Indies, but he was ignored.However, days after the team announcement, the Urdu newspaper Jang carried a report that claimed Afridi would be selected as the 16th player for the three-match series against West Indies in the UAE, as part of a planned farewell.Afridi hinted at that possibility and his retirement during a media session in Karachi, but the statement was seen as ambiguous.I have put no pressure on the board nor they on me but whatever happens it will be good and set new precedents, Afridi said in a statement in Karachi. I have always noted that in Pakistan there is no tradition of players retiring gracefully, even the big names. Every player wants to go out on a high and I am no different.Players must exit respectfully since the ones who serve the country with distinction deserve honour. I have had a discussion with Inzi bhai (Inzamam-ul-Haq) who is an elder to me and we will do what is beneficial to both Pakistan cricket and my own self. This would allow players to decide themselves when it is the right time for them to retire gracefully and with dignity.Afridis decisions to retire from other formats were also surrounded by uncertainty. His decision to retire from Test cricket, immediately after leading his side to a 150-run loss against Australia at Lords in 2010, was seen as abrupt. His ODI retirement, too, was muddled for some time before he decided to quit the format after the 2015 World Cup. Wholesale Patriots Jerseys .

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Kliff Kingsbury and his Texas Tech players are drawing on last years close game at Kansas for motivation for the rematch Thursday night.In the 30-20 win, the Red Raiders (2-1) offense was unenergetic and a joke, the fourth-year coach said.They really brought it to us, they were way more physical and it showed on tape and on the field, Red Raiders quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. Its something that we really looked at and are going to go out there and hopefully we can bring the physicality to them here at home.The road has not been kind to the Jayhawks (1-2). The 43-7 loss at Memphis in their last outing was their 39th straight loss away from Lawrence, Kansas.Kansas coach David Beaty hopes to stop the programs winless skid but knows it wont be easy against the nations second-leading offense (678.7 yards per game).Very dynamic, terrific quarterback, he said. Guys out wide are very capable, very capable. Theyve got a couple of really good young running backs, really good running backs, so very difficult.The Red Raiders are 16-1 against the Jayhawks. Here are some of keys to consider as Kansas and Texas Tech open their Big 12 schedule:MAHOMES TARGETSMahomes leads the Big 12 in passing and touchdowns (497.7 yards per game and 14 TDs) in large measure because he has many good receivers: Johnathan Giles (346 yards and five TDs), Cameron Batson (197 yards and three TDs) and RB Justin Stockton (191 and one TD). Mahomes has just two interceptions through three games, one fewer than the same time last season. He has protected the ball well, hes been very accurate, and I think its a credit to him, because he made it a priority, Kingsbury said.TURNOVER TERRIBLESThe Jayhawks are having a rough time hanging on to the ball.dddddddddddd After their first three games, they rank 125th in the nation is turnovers lost (11). They lost six fumbles at Memphis. The last game was not a true statement of who they are as a football team, Kingsbury said. It kind of got out of hand. But Coach Beaty, I know him very well. He does a good job motivating.KINGSBURY AND BEATYThe two got to know one another when Kingsbury was at Houston and Beaty was at Rice, and they coached together at Texas A&M before each got head coaching gigs.Hes very positive, energetic -- what you see is what you get, Kingsbury said. And hes always got a smile on his face.Beaty lauded Kingsbury for more than coaching.Theres not five humans on the earth better than Kliff Kingsbury, he said. You look at him and everybody sees this good-looking dude and handsome guy and they compare him to all these superstars. What you dont know about him is hes one of the finest men youve ever met.KANSAS STANDOUTSteven Sims Jr. is the Big 12s fifth best in receiving yards per game (84.3 yards) and nations 12th best in yards per reception (23 yards). The sophomore from Houston has four TDs and 253 yards on 11 catches.JAYHAWKS PSYCHEIt can be discouraging to lose two straight games this early in the season, a fact that Beaty tries to tend to.The truth is you always manage your psyche, whether youre winning or losing, he said. Its the nature of our game. You dont get to go run and hide under a rock and cry. You deal with it, and you move forward.---Follow Betsy Blaney on Twitter at www.twitter.com/betsyblaney---Online: AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys China Jerseys Wholesale Cheap NFL Autographed Jerseys Wholesale Authentic Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys 2019 ' ' '
