Australian skipper Ricky Ponting has said his side will target Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi in next week's Lords Test, as he will be playing his first Test match in four years.

"He hasn't played much Test cricket of late, has he? If you read between the lines he's almost in there as that leader and captain, not necessarily one of their best Test players. So, we'll test him out," The Sydney Morning Herald quoted Ponting, as saying.
