Peshawar, however, won the match by 24 runs to reach the final.<\/p>\r\n<p>\nThe cut required stitches and the 37-year-old has been advised 10 days of rest.<\/p>\r\n<p>\n\"After (the 2016) World T20, it was a big challenge for me to perform for my fans. They couldn't see me performing (to the level) which they were expecting. So I hope you have enjoyed whatever I gave in PSL, because whatever the cricket left in me is for you only,\" Afridi said in a video message.<\/p>\r\n<p>\n\"My wish was to play the PSL final in Lahore but sorry, I wont be able to play because doctor gave me a 10-day rest order. It was my big wish that I could play in front of my own people in Lahore but sorry, not possible because of his this,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n<p>\nThe swashbuckling right-hander had also announced his retirement from international cricket during the tournament. <\/p>\r\n<p>\nIn 10 matches of this edition of the PSL, Afridi had scored 177 runs and taken two wickets with an economy rate of 6.75.<\/p>\r\n<p>\nSource - Agency<\/p>\r\n<p>\ntri\/bg\n<\/p>\r\n",
