Earlier, Stuart Broad had praised Shaheen Afridi, calling him one of his favorite bowlers to watch in the world.
“Shaheen Shah Afridi is one of my favorite bowlers to watch in the world. He has such a great presence when he runs in, and I love bowlers who bring energy and vibrancy to their run-up,” Broad had said.
“He has such a natural skill – the way the ball swings back into the right-handers is a pleasure to watch. And he represented the Notts Outlaws this summer, which is close to my heart. He’s one of the bowlers I greatly admire, and I want to see him succeed.”
