Karachi, May 28: A disenchanted Muhammad Yousuf has refused to come out of retirement despite pleas from skipper Shahid Afridi, who wanted the senior batsman to be part of the Pakistan team in the upcoming England tour.
Yousuf announced his retirement from international cricket in March, after the Pakistan Cricket Board imposed an indefinite ban on him for indiscipline on the Australian tour when he was captain.
“I am still hurting from the words used for me by some Board officials and the harsh decision of the inquiry committee. I still feel let down by the events keeping in mind that I have always played 100 percent for Pakistan,” he said.
Yousuf said Afridi had been trying to convince him to come out of retirement and play in England but he had made up his mind to stick to his retirement decision.
