KARACHI (Reuters) - Experienced all-rounder Shahid Afridi was named captain of Pakistan's Twenty20 side on Tuesday, three years after he was removed from the post due to disciplinary issues.

Mohammad Hafeez stepped down as T20 captain after the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh this year where Pakistan failed to qualify for the semi-finals for the first time since the tournament's inception in 2007.
