Just like fast bowling in Pakistan is synonymous with the likes of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, the name Afridi brings to the table its own sense of romance in Pakistani cricket.
The inimitable Shahid Afridi for years has produced some exciting even if inconsistent moments for his country. Now even as he goes through the twilight years of his long career, another Afridi – Shaheen is taking Pakistan cricket by storm.
Having already featured recently in the Pakistan squad at the ICC U-19 World Cup in New Zealand, Shaheen, a fast bowler is now doing his thing in Pakistan Super League. The pacer took five wickets for a miserly four runs to rock the Multan Sultans when they were playing the Lahore Qalandars.
Fielding first, Lahore, courtesy Afridi’s fantastic performance, bowled out Multan for 114. Afridi returned with figures of 3.4-1-4-5 which earned him the man of the match award. News 8
