Former Pakistan all-rounder and the captain of the Galle Gladiators in the ongoing Lanka Premier League, Shahid Afridi has decided to leave the tournament midway in order to attend a personal emergency at home. However, he said that he will return to lead the Galle-based franchise once the situation becomes under control.
Shahid Afridi had taken the LPL by storm with on-field spats and signature swashbuckling innings of 58 runs from 23 balls. He was involved in an on-field altercation with an Afghan all-rounder Naveen-ul Haq who was playing for the Kandy Tuskers. Shahid Afridi had taken to Twitter to react to the on-field heated interaction and suggested that young players should refrain from using abusive languages while playing the game of cricket.
Afridi’s departure would be a massive blow to the Gladiator who are already languishing at the bottom of the points table by losing all the three matches that they have played in the inaugural edition of the league.
