Bcz He can't play a big innings.....
Every team no how to get him out quick with the new ball..
So better he come late and also to concentrate in bowling....

I understand Cricket and was a captain be4, heres how it is:
Shahid Afridi hits alot and well they need ssum1 like that in the middle so incase Pakistan bulls at the begining theres sum1 in the middle who hits can save Pakistan from losing(Afridi), they could just put Yousuf Yohanna as an opener too but sum pple like Hafeez, Imran Nazir, Saeed Anwar, nad more are assigned as openers and well just stay like that. Kamran Akmal is sumtimes the opener and sumtimes is not.
hope that helped
later

He gets the chance to open the innings, but he feels that it's not necessary for him to go as an opener, cus he is a hitter he cannot stay more than 5 overs on the pitch.
An opening batsman's duty is to stay as long as possible in the wicket- build a good score atleast untill the 15th over & then if he gets out its not a problem.
So Afridi definitely cannot stay more than 15 overs, cus he is a big hitter, he is a good middle order batsman to score quick runs. "match winner"
Afridi is better & could be sent as an opener in the T20 format of game.

Shahid Afridi is known for hard hitting and inconsistency. If Pakistan have to chase huge total, it will be worth trying Afridi as an opener. However, when batting first, it will not be a good move to open with Afridi as he will be more useful in slog overs.

he is a very agressive batsman..........of he tries to attack and gets out early in the innings pressure will be on pakistan........... if he comes at no 5 / 6 he will play over the air and hit good shots................after 20-30 overs the pitch settles and he will be able to attack and he can bring pakistan to a decent total....... one more thing is if that openers get out fast there will be pressureon the middle order and they will not score properly ....
and the team will not score nicely.............
hope i helped
