AFP, Hong Kong

Hard-hitting Pakistani allrounder Shahid Afridi has dropped out of the All-Star team for this weekend's Hong Kong Sixes and will be replaced by England wicketkeeper Geraint Jones, organisers said.

Afridi's withdrawal comes after he was selected to play in Pakistan's one-day series against South Africa and follows Virender Sehwag's decision to pull out to play for the India Blue team at the Challenger Trophy in Ahmedabad.
