Afridi quit international cricket after developing differences with former Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ijaz Butt and ex-coach Waqar Younis.

Afridi made himself available for national selection after Ashraf took over from Butt earlier this month and Younis stepped down due to personal reasons.

Ashraf says he and Afridi will meet soon to discuss the player’s future. Ashraf visited the PCB head office in Lahore on Friday to meet with various PCB officials  and he also plans to meet with various former test cricketers, including crickter-turned-politician Imran Khan.
