Shahid Afridi: Pakistan best ODI outfit in the world

Afridi: Pakistan best ODI team in the world

Karachi: Mar 14, 2014

Star Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi has hailed his side’s limited-overs outfit as the best in the world, although he admitted that they need to improve their fielding efforts.

Pakistan’s team is set to leave for the ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh on Thursday, but Afridi is expected to join them early next week as he is currently undergoing week-long rehabilitation after suffering a strain during the Asia Cup 2014.

According to The Nation, Afridi said that he believes Pakistan’s limited-overs combination in the world is the best in the world as they have equally good batsmen and bowlers, although he admitted that they need to improve their fielding as it is one of the most essential parts of limited-overs cricket.

Pakistan’s warm-up matches are on next Monday and Wednesday, after which they open their campaign in a high-profile match against India, the report added.
