Islamabad, Mar 6 (IBNS) The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has expressed its annoyance over cricketer Shahid Afridi's move to seek direct help from country's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in issues related to cricket.

"Expressing annoyance over Pakistan’s Twenty20 captain Shahid Afridi’s latest tweets seeking Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s direct help in cricketing affairs, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is likely to issue either a warning or a show cause notice to the flamboyant cricketer," Geo News reported.

Geo News reported quoting sources that PCB Chairman Shahryar Khan would take the final decision to discipline the T20 skipper.

Afridi on Saturday requested the PM to look into the barriers which are preventing talents from the grass root level to rise in the country.

"I really appreciate our PM's support and help to evaluate & uplift the performance of the team by bringing this committee into existence," Afridi tweeted.

"I would want 2 request the PM to look into the barriers which r preventing talent from the grass root level to rise and prove their mark," he said.

Shaharyar M. Khan last week decided to form a Special Committee to inquire into  Pakistan’s poor performance in the Asia Cup and also to examine the selection process for the World T-20.

Pakistan failed to reach the final of the tournament.
