Shahid Sixes Biography
Soon after the World Cup Pakistan toured the West Indies for a T20I, five ODIs, and two Tests. Pakistan lost the only T20I[58] but won the ODI series that followed 3–2.[59] Afridi took two wickets and scored 28 runs in the series.[60][61] The coach, Waqar Younis, fell out with Afridi and in his report on the tour criticised Afridi, saying "as a captain he is very immature, has poor discipline, lacks a gameplan and is unwilling to listen to others' opinions or advice".[62]
 After the series, on 19 May the PCB replaced Afridi as ODI captain with Misbah-ul-Haq for the two-match ODI series against Ireland later that month. In 34 ODIs as captain, Afridi led his side to 18 wins and 15 defeats.[63] Afridi subsequently withdrew from the touring squad, citing the illness of his father.[64]
Conditional retirement and return (2011)
On 30 May Afridi announced his conditional retirement from international cricket in protest against his treatment by the PCB. The condition on his return was that the board be replaced.[65] The PCB suspended Afridi's central contract, fined him 4.5 million rupees ($52,300), and revoked his no-objection certificate (NOC) which allowed Afridi to play for Hampshire. Afridi filed a petition with the Sindh High Court to overturn the sanctions. On 15 June, Afridi withdrew his petition after an out of court settlement and the PCB reinstated his NOC.[66]
 When the PCB's central contracts were renewed in August, Afridi's was allowed to lapse.[67] In October he withdrew his retirement as Ijaz Butt had been replaced as chairman of the PCB. [68] Two weeks after his announcement, Afridi was included in Pakistan's squad to face Sri Lanka in three ODIs and a T20I.[69] In November 2011, Afridi became the only cricketer to score a half-century and take five wickets on two separate occasions in ODIs.[70] Afridi achieved this feat in the fourth ODI against Sri Lanka which helped Pakistan to secure the one-day series.[71]
 During Pakistan's tour of Sri Lanka in June 2012, Afridi became the first cricketer to score 500 runs and take 50 wickets in Twenty20 Internationals. As of June 2012, he is the only cricketer to achieve this. [72] He played his 50th T20I, which is also a new record. Afridi holds the most Player of the Match awards with 7, one above Sanath Jayasuriya and Kevin Pietersen who are both tied in 2nd place with 6.
