Shaheen’s show in his international debut for Pakistan got the cricketer international recognition as a star player.
Standing at an imposing six feet and six inches (1.98m), Shaheen Shah Afridi, the 21-year-old bowler, is the latest high-end product of Pakistan’s fast bowling factory — left-arm division.
Shaheen also carries the same name of one of the country’s iconic white-ball pioneers, Shahid Afridi, as well as inheriting his number 10 shirt.
