Cricket WC: Afridi looks to senior Pakistan players
Cricket WC: Afridi looks to senior Pakistan players
KARACHI: Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has urged his side's experienced players to shoulder the burden of responsibility at the World Cup after a disappointing defeat in their final warm-up match.
The dashing batsman and leg-spinner missed Friday's 67-run defeat by England in Dhaka, but insisted bouncing back was nothing new for his side.
"This is not the first time we are saying sorry for our performance," Afridi told an India news agency. "All of us as a team now have to perform and give our best in the World Cup."
"The senior players including myself have a very important role to play in this World Cup. We must show the way to the youngsters who are playing in the tournament for the first time," added Afridi, one of the stars of Pakistan's 2009 World Twenty20 triumph in England.
Afridi stressed there was no question of Pakistan holding back key players for their tournament opener against World Cup outsiders Kenya in Sri Lanka on Wednesday.
"What is clear is that everyone has to now perform and play responsibly if the team is to do well in this World Cup. There is no time now to experiment."
"It is a good sign that the players are concentrating hard on the tournament and everyone wants to do well. It is important for us to make an early impact in this competition and get the momentum going," he added.
The presence of several potential match-winners with both bat and ball in their side, including Afridi, means Pakistan could yet mount a strong challenge for the trophy at this year's World Cup.
"I think Pakistan are really dark horses who can change the game any time. They have the firepower," said Sri Lanka batsman Thilan Samaraweera of their rivals in Group A, which also includes title-holders Australia, New Zealand, Zimbabwe and Canada.
Pakistan, the 1992 champions, were originally slated as one of the four co-hosts but were stripped of hosting rights after an armed attack on the Sri Lanka team bus in Lahore in March 2009.

Lavish opening ceremony launches cricket World Cup
DHAKA: The Bangladeshi capital Dhaka was transformed into a wall of noise and color Thursday as a lavish ceremony officially opened the Cricket World Cup.
A spectacular four-hour performance at the Bangabandhu Stadium showcased the cricket-crazy culture of the country, which is hosting the tournament along with south Asian neighbors India and Sri Lanka.
The ceremony included 3,500 performers as the captain of each participating nation was introduced to the crowd via the traditional mode of transport, a rickshaw.
Canadian pop star Bryan Adams took part in the festivities, along with Bangladesh singer Runa Laila and Sonu Nigam from India.
The city of Mirpur plays host to the first of 49 games over the six-week tournament on Friday as World Cup favorites India take on Bangladesh.
The last edition, in the Caribbean in 2007, was criticized for being complicated to follow and going on too long. Australia retained their title in the West Indies, and are aiming to win a fourth straight World Cup this time around.
We feel greatly privileged to co-host the cricket extravaganza in our beautiful country --Sheikh Hasina, Bangladesh's prime minister
The International Cricket Council's (ICC) president Sharad Pawar told the crowd he was confident the 2011 installment would be the finest yet.
"Today is a historic day when the people of Bangladesh join India and Sri Lanka together to host the ICC Cricket World Cup, and make this tournament the most memorable yet," he said.
"The ICC Cricket World Cup, our flagship event, provides the stage on which players have the rare opportunity to create legend and to write their own chapter in the history of this great sport.
"The greatest cricketers in the world will grace this event and I am sure that their ability, whether with bat or ball, will provide excitement and enjoyment for all cricket lovers."
Bangladesh's prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, hailed a momentous day for her country. "We feel greatly privileged to co-host the cricket extravaganza in our beautiful country," she said.
"I congratulate my cricket-loving countrymen for their great enthusiasm and cooperation to make this event a grand success."
Prior to the opening ceremony the ICC announced its disappointment that Salman Butt, Pakistan's former captain who was banned from the game for corruption, was to appear as a pundit covering the World Cup.
ICC chief executive, Haroon Lorgat, said he was "not satisfied" by Butt's role on a Pakistani television channel and would seek to clarify whether he is in breach of the terms of his ban.
It was also confirmed that players and officials would be banned from using their mobile phones during matches, to prevent them updating sites like Twitter.
New penalties were introduced for anyone found to break the new rules. (Online)
