Afridi unhappy with management | PCB seeks explanation

 Shahid Khan Afridi, Pakistan's limited overs captain, has landed himself in administrative hot water once again, as the PCB has hauled him up for comments he made on Sunday after returning to Pakistan from the Caribbean.
Pakistan cricket Board (PCB) has taken strong notice of the remarks of Pakistani Skipper Shahid Afridi regarding differences in the team management.

Afridi was not happy with the team management and their behaviour during the recent tour of West Indies where Pakistan won the first 3 matches but lost the last two to finish the series 3-2.

"I feel everyone should do his job and need not interfere in other's work," Afridi said, without mentioning anyone by name.

The PCB said in a statement Monday that Afridi has violated its code of conduct and "appropriate action will be taken after the submission of the tour report at the conclusion of the (West Indies) tour."
