Pakistan coach Waqar Younis and manager Intikhab Alam criticised former captain Shahid Afridi as "immature and unwilling to listen," according to tour reports leaked to the media yesterday. Excerpts of their reports were published in the Dawn newspaper, fuelling a public slanging match between the star player, who announced his retirement last week, and Pakistani cricket management.<br /><br />"As captain I feel he is still very immature, has poor discipline, lacks game plan and is unwilling to listen to others' opinion or advice," wrote Waqar of the West Indies tour where Afridi led the team to a 3-2 win in May.<br /><br />Afridi last month publicly accused Waqar of "undue meddling" in team selection, which forced the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to serve him with a show-cause notice. In his report, Waqar said coaching staff had failed to improve Afridi's behaviour, saying that "sometimes his volatile and immature nature have proved detrimental and led to unfortunate outcome of the game losses."
