(Reuters) - The Pakistan Cricket Board has demanded one-day captain Shahid Afridi explain comments he made in the media about differences with team management.

Allrounder Afridi returned on Sunday from the West Indies, where Pakistan won a one-day series 3-2, and said he was unhappy at interference from management on the tour and would be speaking to the PCB about it.

“I don’t like people interfering in my domain,” Afridi told reporters. “I think it would be better if everyone focused on his job in the team.”

Afridi did not mention any names but local media has reported that it was coach Waqar Younis who had provoked his ire.

“Afridi has violated the code of conduct of the board by making statements in the media,” the PCB statement said. The PCB said it would take appropriate action on the reports of differences within team management after getting the manager’s tour report after the series.
