Series victory against WI result of teamwork: Afridi

BARBADOS (Agencies) - Pakistan cricket team captain Shahid Afridi said the victory was a result of teamwork after winning the third ODI against West Indies on Thursday. Talking to reporters in a press conference, Afridi said that all the players performed well so far in the first three matches of the series and all of them deserve the credit for this memorable victory over the West Indian team. He further said that during the three matches, all the players at some stage performed their role in winning it for Pakistan so all of them deserve the credit for the series victory. When asked about any changes for the fourth and fifth ODI, Shahid said, Our top priority was to win the series and as now we have won it we will definitely give chance to new comers. Earlier on Thursday, Afridi showed his dissatisfaction on the ICC One-Day rankings system saying it was hard to understand how it works. The ICC had made it clear the other day that even if Pakistan whitewash West Indies in the ODI series it will only get one point out of it, which means Pakistan will have to stay at Number six in the ICC rankings. Afridi showed his resentment saying there has to be some advantage for the visiting team no matter whos the opposition. It is important to mention here that Afridi is the second captain after Sri Lankan skipper Kumar Sangakkara who has showed discontentment over the ICC ranking system.
