Former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik managed to come back for this month's Asia Cup Thursday after assuring current skipper Shahid Afridi that he would completely transform himself into a 'team man' and will always give his best for the team.

Afridi told 'The News' Friday that he believes that the former captain has learnt his lessons after getting slapped by a one-year ban and is now ready to play the role of a senior for the sake of Pakistan cricket.
