They started with a victory over Bangladesh but were then beaten by New Zealand, India and Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Afridi has been under a lot of pressure to quit following their dismal performance in the last few tournaments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;When I go back home, in the first 4-5 days I will take the decision (on retirement). I will announce it in my country. Whatever is better for the country, I will go with that. I will see my form,&quot; Afridi said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;There is pressure, media pressure. As a player, I am fit. As a captain, I am not fit. I have enjoyed my captaincy. The team management, selection committee, and Shaharyar Khan (Pakistan Cricket Board chairman) have helped me out.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The veteran all-rounder believes they were just not good enough against the present 50-over World Champions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;I want to congratulate Australia. Honestly, we were not good enough. The last four overs, we gave 40 runs. I want to thank people from Calcutta. I thank people who came and supported us from Pakistan and Kashmir. Thanks to the BCCI,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Agency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
