Afridi, 26, shocked his team when he announced earlier this month that he was giving up the longer form of the game until after the 2007 World Cup to concentrate on limited-overs cricket.
The PCB chief had asked Afridi to review his decision “in the national interest and had assured him that PCB would be sensitive to the pressures that had led to his earlier decision,” the spokesman said.
Afridi said in mid-April the strain of an excessive cricketing schedule was the main reason behind his decision and that he was not getting enough time to spend with his family.

Shahid Afridi has had no shortage of people urging him to come back from his "retirement".
Afridi currently has a Category A central contract that entitles him to a monthly allowance of Rs 200,000 (£ 1800 approximately).
Afridi must have said a thousand times why he has retired, different people chose to come to different conclusions regarding the "reasons" he gave but that hardly means the PCB should launch an official inquiry into investigating the matter as Miandad appears to be implying.

Shahid Afridi took career-best figures of five for 11 off six overs while offspinner Shoaib Malik chipped in with three wickets to dismiss Kenya for just 94.
Otieno (33) was then trapped lbw by Malik the next over, before Kenya captain Steve Tikolo, playing for spin, was deceived by a Malik delivery that faded away from the right-hander and nicked the top of his off stump for a duck.
The spinning pair then went on the rampage with none of the Kenyan batsman able to handle the variations in pace from Afridi and spin from Malik with five of the final six wickets to fall being bowled.

 Pakistan avenge Kolkata defeat to share series: Shahid Afridi plays key role -DAWN - Sport; March, 29 2005
Troubled loomed for the Indians when Shahid Afridi, a stand-out in the attack with figures of 17-7-13-3, inflicted two telling blows by picking up the scalps of VVS Laxman and captain Saurav Ganguly, whose poor run with the bat continued.
Afridi had Tendulkar caught at short leg by Asim Kamal, who made up for a dropped catch off Muhammad Sami when Tendulkar was 11 and would have had to rue it if Pakistan had not won the match.
With India 164 for seven and the shadows lengthening, Pakistan pushed hard for victory and except for a brief resistance by the tail in which Anil Kumble scored and undefeated 37, soon got there when Laxmipathy Balaji offered no stroke to Danish Kaneria to be adjudged lbw.
