Pakistan to perform better in ODIs: Afridi

KARACHI: Pakistan ODI and T20 skipper Shahid Afridi said on Friday that the Pakistan cricket team would perform better in five ODIs and two Twenty20s against England than they performed in the Test series.

“Certainly our ODI and T20 squad is better than our Test team and we would perform better than what we did in the Test series. Moreover, team’s morale would be high after their victory in the third Test against the hosts,” Afridi told reporters here before leaving for England on Friday.

He said that he would not only be going out in the ODI series to win but also to observe players for the World Cup which will be held next year.
“We want to finalise players for the World Cup on the basis of their performance in this series,” he said.
He said he was leaving early for England because he will attend two programmes for raising funds for the flood affectees
