Karachi: Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi on Thursday said he is raring to perform at the forthcoming Champions Trophy in South Africa.
Afridi, who played a key role in Pakistan's title win at the World Twenty20 championship, said he wants to give his best for the Champions Trophy that gets underway from September 22.
"A lot depends on my performance in the Champions Trophy in South Africa and I am looking forward to this tough event," said Afridi, who was promoted as Pakistan's Twenty20 captain following his heroics in England.
He also replaced Misbah-ul-Haq as the Pakistan vice-captain for Tests and one-dayers, in which Younis Khan leads the country.
"If I am not that successful in Champions Trophy, then I may consider quitting the game for good," he said.
Pakistan is bracketed with Australia, India and West Indies in Pool A of the elite eight-nation tournament.
