Sources also extra that Afridi, who left for the USA on May 17, was already miserable due to his upset removal as the captain of Pakistan's ODI team by the PCB. Afridi was sack by the chairman of the board, Ijaz Butt last week and replace by senior batsman, Misbah-ul-Haq for the Ireland series.
Misbah is currently most important the team in the Test series against West Indies.
"Afridi is miserable with the way he was detached as captain with no being given any reason for the choice. He is all the more amazed since he led the team to the ICC World Cup semi final and also to ODI series win over the West Indies," the source said.
Afridi was sack after he criticized coach Waqar Younis for meddling in team selection during the 3-2 one-day series win against the West Indies.
