Afridi to retire from ODIs after WC

Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi will retire from one-day international (ODI) cricket after the World Cup (WC) in Australia and New Zealand next year. Afridi told team management of his decision during the recent one-day series against New Zealand in the United Arab Emirates which Pakistan lost 3-2. "I want to retire from one-day cricket on a high and I think World Cup is the best stage to do so," Afridi told reporters in the southern port city of Karachi on Sunday, according to a news agency.
