Shaheen Afridi Stats — Pakistan’s Premier Left-Arm Fast Bowler

When people talk about Pakistan 🇵🇰 cricket’s pace attack, the first name that comes to mind is Shaheen Shah Afridi. Standing at 6’6″, this left-arm quick from Khyber Agency has the kind of skills that make batters uncomfortable from ball one — sharp inswing, a nasty bouncer, and those toe-crushing yorkers that he can pull out whenever Pakistan needs a breakthrough. He made his international debut as a teenager and has never looked back, growing into one of the most complete fast bowlers in the game today. He led Lahore Qalandars to three PSL titles as captain, which tells you a lot about the kind of leader and match-winner he is.

First Teenager to Take a Five-Wkt Haul in a World Cup

At just 19 years and 90 days old, Shaheen Shah Afridi bowled figures of 6/35 against Bangladesh at the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup — the best figures ever by a Pakistani bowler in the tournament.

That spell announced him to the world and remains one of the most impressive individual bowling performances in World Cup history.
