Shahid Afridi won't play in IPL ever, calls PSL a bigger tournament
Islamabad, Apr 6 (IBNS): Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has said he will not play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) even if he is invited to be a part of the tournament.
According to the tweets of the editor of pakistanpassion.net, Saj Sadiq, Afridi, under whose leadership Pakistan reached the semi-finals of the ICC World Cup in 2011, said he is enjoying playing in the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
He said in future PSL will become a more bigger event than the IPL.
Sdiq tweeted quoting Afridi as saying: "Even if they call me, I won't go to the IPL. My PSL is the biggest and there will be a time that it leaves the IPL behind. I am enjoying the PSL, I don't have any need for the IPL. I'm not interested in it and never was."
