Shahid Afridi, who worked up a storm after his comments on captaincy, has reiterated his support for Misbah-ul-Haq as the best choice to lead Pakistan at the 2015 World Cup.

Afridi's remarks have come at a time when Pakistan completed an emphatic Test series win over Australia in 20 years.

Before the Test series, there were rumours of a possible Pakistan Cricket Board change of heart and the axing of Misbah as ODI captain. Afridi was being propped up as the replacement.

However the legendary all-rounder, also known as 'Boom Boom Afridi', denied expressing any desire for Pakistan's captaincy though.

"I don't know why media creates controversies by misquoting me. They seem to blow everything I say out of proportion," Afridi said adding, "As far as captaincy is concerned, I never ran after it. I have always said I am available to serve the country in any way possible."

The 34-year-old veteran all-rounder praised Pakistan's outstanding display against Australia in Tests.

"I congratulate the whole team for their brilliant performance," he said, adding that the team combination was in good shape and needed to be given confidence.

Afridi said major responsibility now lied on the shoulders of senior players and stressed that they should motivate and back the juniors.
