No PCL option for Xamarin project

I'm just getting into Xamarin Forms based app development and most of the articles -- if not all -- that I've come across suggest I create a new Xamarin Forms project using Portable Class Library (PCL) approach.

I'm running the latest version of Visual Studio 2017 15.5.1 and when I start a new Xamarin Forms project, I get the following screen with no PCL option.

enter image description here

Am I missing something?

You Can Select .Net Standard. it is Replacement of PCL.

NET Standard is a formal specification of .NET APIs that are intended to be available on all .NET runtimes (such as .NET Framework, Mono, and .NET Core)
