Shaheen Shah Afridi made waves when he finished with figures of 6/35 in a World Cup match against Bangladesh. The speedster made his international debut for Pakistan in April 2018 and has been an integral part of the team since then. The left-arm fast bowler made his Test debut the same year in December. He is making the headlines now and that’s not because of his bowling, but due to a piece of news about his personal life.
Shaheen Shah Afridi was earlier in the news as the rumour of his engagement with Shahid Afridi’s daughter Aqsa surfaced and made its way to the fans. It was also reported by a news channel in March 2021 that the bowler’s family had sent the proposal and it was accepted by Shahid Afridi’s family. There were speculations about the relationship between the two families and all those speculations have now been put to rest by none other than the former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi.
