India Afridi to represent South Australia in T20 Big Bash
Swashbuckling Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi will play for South Australia in the domestic Twenty20 Big Bash competition, which starts late December. The 29-year-old will replace mystery spinner Ajantha Mendis in the Redbacks squad, with the Lankan pulling out due to international commitments. However, with Pakistan's one-day series against Australia starting in Brisbane on January 22, Afridi would not be available to play in the Twenty20 Big Bash final, which is scheduled on January 23. ''The final of the Big Bash is scheduled to conflict with some of his (Afridi's) Pakistan commitments ... but he'll be here for the majority,'' South Australia Cricket Association high performance manager Jamie Cox told reporters in Adelaide today. ''He's a very dynamic player who we think will really satisfy our needs,'' he added. Cox informed that South Australia were negotiating with other internationals, adding that talismanic England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff is not among them. Australian state teams have the option of signing two overseas players each for the Twenty20 Big Bash competition.
