Shaheen is currently present with the Pakistan team in the T20 World Cup
Pakistan cricket team’s fast bowler Shaheen Afridi will not be able to participate in the upcoming season of The Hundred this time. The reason behind this is being told that he wants to spend quality time with his family. However, reports are also coming out that he is also interested in participating in Canada’s Global T20 League.
It is worth noting that this time there may be a clash in the dates of The Hundred and Canada’s Global T20 League. Because of this, Shaheen Afridi can be seen playing in either of these two leagues. Also, there is a possibility that if Shaheen does not participate in The Hundred, it could prove to be a big setback for the tournament.
Shaheen Afridi’s big reaction came out
Let us tell you that in a press release of ESPN Cricinfo regarding not playing in The Hundred, Shaheen Afridi said – I am saddened that I will not be able to play for Welsh Fire this year. I thoroughly enjoyed The Hundred last season, and was excited to return to Cardiff. I wish Mike Hussey (Head Coach of Welsh Fire team) and the team all the best for 2024.
It is worth noting that Shaheen Afridi played in The Hundred for the first time last year, and he took a total of 6 wickets for Welsh Fire in the entire tournament. So for the second season of the tournament, Shaheen was retained by the franchise by mutual consent by paying 1 lakh euros, but now he will not be able to play for Welsh Fire in the upcoming season.
So at this time he is present in the USA with the Pakistan cricket team for the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. He would like to perform brilliantly for Pakistan in the tournament.
