Team members must share skipper Afridi’s burden: Misbah

Pallekele: Pakistan vice-captain Misbah-ul-Haq today urged his teammates to share skipper Shahid Afridi’s burden, who has almost single-handedly guided the team to victory in all the three matches it had played so far in the World Cup.
Pakistan would take on New Zealand in a group B match here tomorrow and Misbah asked his side to be ready to take the pressure off Afridi, who has taken 14 wickets from three matches so far in the tournament, winning two man-of-the-match awards.
Afridi took 5-16 against Kenya before following that up with 4-34 against Sri Lanka and 5-23 against Canada to help his side garner a perfect six points from three matches and top Group A.
