LAHORE: Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi has refused to attend the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) event scheduled on September 14 in Lahore.

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.
