NEW DELHI: The groups of Pakistan cricketers land at different airports of the country to avoid fans reactions after the humiliating defeat in the World T20 tournament.     

While Shahid Afridi will stay behind in Dubai for another 48-hours. Captain Shahid Afridi has decided to stay back in Dubai as the team heads home following a humiliating exit from the World Twenty20 World Cup.

Australia beat Pakistan by 21 runs in Mohali on Friday eliminating Pakistan from the World Twenty20.

Afridi, who had hinted before the game that retirement was imminent, said he has not yet made a final decision to call it quits.

“I’m going to go back home and in the next four-five days I will take a decision and whatever is better for the country, I will go with that. I think I will announce this in my country,” the 36-year-old told reporters on Friday.

“As a player I am fine but as a captain I am not fit because it is not easy to handle the pressure, especially if you are playing for Pakistan… the expectation pressure, the media pressure, everything.” , said Afridi
