Pakistani captain Shahid Afridi said he will consult Imran Khan and sympathizers before deciding on his retirement.

Talking to players at the lunch table, he further said he is fully fit as a player and he is not keen to keep captaincy adding that he would also like to play as a player in the team but not as the captain.

Meanwhile, former Australian captain Ian Chappell praised Shahid Afridi’s “honesty” after he declared himself “not fit” to lead the team as Pakistan bowed out of the World T20 suffering back-to-back defeats at the hands of India, New Zealand and Australia.

“Very honest appraisal,” Chappell commented on ESPNcricinfo’s Match Day.

“I don’t think so it was doing him any favours giving him the captaincy because he is one of those sorts of erratic geniuses you never know what you’re going to get next. I’m not sure if that’s the right temperament for captaincy.”

Afridi, during the post-match ceremony in Mohali, said he was no longer up to captaining Pakistan after his team’s exit but held back from making an announcement on his possible retirement.
