A move to give Shahid Afridi a farewell during the T20Is between Pakistan and West Indies in the UAE has not materialised, with the former captain left out of the squad for the three matches. The PCB confirmed the move had come from selection committee head, Inzamam-ul-Haq, but it fell through in the absence of the board chairman Shaharyar Khan, who is recovering from surgery, and executive committee head Najam Sethi, who is on vacation in England.Afridi had plans to retire at the end of the 2016 World T20 in India and Shaharyar had confirmed this earlier in the year saying, He is also a Pathan and I am also a Pathan and once the agreement is done between two Pathans it cant be changed. However, before the tournament, Afridi revealed that he was reconsidering his retirement due to huge pressure from friends and family.Following Pakistans poor performance at the World T20, and criticism surrounding his leadership, Afridi stepped down as captain but chose to continue playing in the format. However, he has not played for Pakistan since then, with the new selection committee not seeing him as a part of their plans for the side. Afridi had succeeded Mohammad Hafeez as Pakistans T20 captain in September 2014. In his second stint as captain, Afridi led the side to 11 victories in 24 matches but his personal form dipped. He averaged 14.65 during this period with a best of 49, and took 20 wickets.After the 2016 World T20, Afridi turned out for Hampshire in Natwest t20 Blast the scoring 191 runs at 17.36 in 12 matches and taking nine wickets. He also played only one match in the recent domestic National T20 tournament, before pulling out due to fitness concerns. He reportedly underwent an MRI scan on his knee and was later trained in Karachi as a part of injury rehabilitation. He was also optimistic that he would be selected for the series against West Indies, but he was ignored.However, days after the team announcement, the Urdu newspaper Jang carried a report that claimed Afridi would be selected as the 16th player for the three-match series against West Indies in the UAE, as part of a planned farewell.Afridi hinted at that possibility and his retirement during a media session in Karachi, but the statement was seen as ambiguous.I have put no pressure on the board nor they on me but whatever happens it will be good and set new precedents, Afridi said in a statement in Karachi. I have always noted that in Pakistan there is no tradition of players retiring gracefully, even the big names. Every player wants to go out on a high and I am no different.Players must exit respectfully since the ones who serve the country with distinction deserve honour. I have had a discussion with Inzi bhai (Inzamam-ul-Haq) who is an elder to me and we will do what is beneficial to both Pakistan cricket and my own self. This would allow players to decide themselves when it is the right time for them to retire gracefully and with dignity.Afridis decisions to retire from other formats were also surrounded by uncertainty. His decision to retire from Test cricket, immediately after leading his side to a 150-run loss against Australia at Lords in 2010, was seen as abrupt. His ODI retirement, too, was muddled for some time before he decided to quit the format after the 2015 World Cup. dave robinson stitched jersey .com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena. randall cobb stitched jersey .

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia set a school record for forcing turnovers, putting the loss to Temple behind them.Esa Ahmad scored 19 points to lead No. 25 West Virginia to a 108-61 victory Monday night in the final game of the NIT Season Tip-Off.The Mountaineers (5-1) surpassing the school record of 34 by VMI in 2014-15.I thought we did a pretty good job but I think a lot of it was they didnt have a long time to prepare, West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins said. They came down from beating Detroit in double-overtime. I know that they had a workout yesterday and a shootaround today. I think thats why we should be better the second night although we werent against Temple.The game was a much needed psychological boost after a failed comeback against Temple at Barclays Center on Friday.(We) dont take anyone for granted, Ahmad said. We wanted to come out and go 100 percent right out of the gate and thats what we did.West Virginia started the game on an 8-0 run over the first 3 minutes, then both teams essentially traded baskets through the next 12 minutes.

So, you have three things against you right there.BIG PICTUREManhattan is impressive off the glass, averaging around 40 rebounds per game but also averages 23 turnovers per game.West Virginia averages around 27 forced turnovers per game, but is shooting 63 percent from the free throw line.PARAMOUNT PRESSWest Virginia had only 11 turnovers, as opposed to Manhattans 40. The Mountaineers remain on top of the NCAA in turnover margin at 16.1.BENCHMARK DEPTHHuggins played eight players off the bench for more than 10 minutes. West Virginias reserves scored 62 points, the most this season for the Mountaineers.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Mountaineers win over Manhattan should have virtually no effect on their placement in the AP Top 25 but their game against No. 6 Virginia will likely decide where they will finish next Monday.UP NEXTManhattan hosts Canisius on Friday.West Virginia plays at No. 6 Virginia on Saturday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
