Don8217;t put pressure on me: Shahid Afridi to selectors

8220;I don8217;t know in what context or scenario Iqbal Qasim said these things for me. But no one should put pressure on me,8221; Afridi told reporters.

8220;My fans still want me to continue playing and I will decide myself till when to continue playing or when to leave,8221; Afridi added.

Afridi said he was determined to do well for the country and no one needs to remind him that.

8220;I have always said that I will never give anyone a chance to tell me that it is time for me to go. I am going to South Africa in a confident state of mind and I am ready for

the challenge and to perform well as I have done in the past,8221; he said.

The chief selector8217;s remarks about Afridi generated a lot of debate in the cricket circles with many former players and critics insisting that Qasim had made unnecessary comments.

Asked about his struggle in batting,Afridi said one couldn8217;t play aggressive all the time batting at number seven.
