Shahid Afridi came away from England after quitting the Test cricket captaincy after losing the first Test to Australia. Thereafter, Pakistan squared the series against Australia but have lost the two Test against England with two to go. But he is more confident about the one day team than the Test team.

Afridi felt the Pakistan Test team was struggling because of the qualities of the cricketers being chosen, "I think we have seen the players up close after their performances in England and obviously there will be some changes for the one-day series but I feel we have a good combination for limited overs cricket although we are struggling in Test match.
"We are struggling in England because we don't have too many players with the right temperament for five-day cricket. But in contrast we have talented players for the shorter versions of the sport.
Afridi also had something to do about the critical remarks being made about the Pakistan team, "Some of our former players are very negative in their comments on the team and I think they must be more supportive because a player can only give his best when he knows he has backing and support of the cricket community."
