Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi has said that he might call the curtains on his ODI career after the World Cup next year and just concentrate on Twenty20s.

Afridi, who quit Test cricket four years ago, said that the 2015 World Cup is important for two, three senior members of the Pakistan team, and he might retire after that and continue playing T20 cricket.

According to The Dawn, Afridi, who has played in three World Cups and captained the team to the 2011 semifinals, said that the one-month fitness camp organised by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in Lahore is 'very tough', as they prepare for the tournament.

Meanwhile, the allrounder has also appreciated Mohammad Akram's efforts in conducting the rigorous summer camp at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, the report added.
