The 41-year-old said his role in the team is to mentor the youngsters and help Sarfaraz in the pressure moments of the game. Afridi said that while Sarfaraz is a good captain, he does have a tendency to get too emotional on the field, which puts extra pressure on the shoulders of young players. ,The 46-year-old may be retiring soon, but his impact on the global game will endure. Afridi made his international debut 26 years ago as a player not known for hitting sixes every time he batted, but he brought a new way of thinking to cricket that showed he was far from Far ahead of others of his generation.
