Afridi announces retirement from Test cricket

Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi has decided to stop playing Test cricket until after next year's World Cup in the West Indies.
Talking to a local television on Wednesday, Afridi spotted his decision of retirement, firm and sound and justified it on the ground that it would help him play better one-day international cricket, particularly during Cricket World Cup 2007.
The 26-year-old, who has played 24 Tests, said the busy international calendar had contributed to his decision.
Afridi, who is known for his flamboyant hitting and leg spin bowling, played in the first Test against Sri Lanka last month.
He has made 4,824 runs and taken 184 wickets in 222 one-day appearances.
Afridi holds the record for the fastest century in one-day internationals which he made off just 37 balls against Sri Lanka at Nairobi in 1996.

Pakistan name squad to face India

Pakistan have included uncapped spin bowler Abdul Rahman in a 14-man squad for two one-day matches against India in Abu Dhabi later this month.
But there is no place for opening batsman Salman Butt following a run of low scores. The games on 18-19 April are the first in a plan to take cricket to countries with large expatriate populations.
And money from the first will be donated to the Kashmir earthquake relief appeal fund. The matches will also give Inzamam-ul-Haq's side a chance to gain a measure of revenge after losing 4-1 to India in a home one-day series earlier this year.
The selectors have also named a strong Pakistan A squad, to be led by Hasan Raza, for the EuroAsia Trophy event, which will also be held in Abu Dhabi from 22 April to 5 May. They will take on India A, Sri Lanka A and the national teams from Ireland, The Netherlands and the UAE. Pakistan squad: Inzamam-ul-Haq (Captain), Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Imran Farhat, Faisal Iqbal, Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq, Mohammad Asif, Kamran Akmal, Rao Iftikhar, Rana Naved, Danish Kaneria, Abdul Rahman.
Pakistan A squad: Hasan Raza (Captain), Yasir Hameed, Taufeeq Umar, Mohammad Hafeez, Bazid Khan, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shahid Yousuf, Mansoor Amjad, Zulqarnain Haider (Wicket Keeper), Tahir Khan, Umar Gul, MOhammad Irshad, Yasir Arafat, Samiullah Niazi.
