Such opportunities can not be wasted: Shahid Afridi targets Pakistan cricket team after first Test defeat against England
Islamabad: Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has targeted the national side for losing the chance of winning the Test match against England.
He said such opportunities should not be missed.
"Congratulations England on a memorable win! Brilliant batting by Buttler and Woakes. Pakistan had the game in the grip, unfortunate that the game slipped away. Such opportunities can not be wasted, pitch was very suitable for our bowling attack," Afridi tweeted.
