Shahid Afridi said he was "disappointed" to be missing out on playing for defending champions Hampshire in this season's English county Twenty20 competition after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) effectively banned him from playing abroad.
Former one-day captain Afridi had his central contract suspended by the PCB on Tuesday, having announced his retirement from international cricket. Now the PCB has revoked all no-objection certificates (NOCs) for the player, meaning Afridi will not be officially permitted to play overseas.
"I am disappointed," Afridi told AFP yesterday, hours before Hampshire were due to begin the defence of their title against Somerset in a repeat of last season's final.
