In a big piece of news for Pakistan cricket fans, Shaheen Afridi is all set to tie the knot with former Pak skipper Shahid Afridi’s daughter Ansha during this winter. The news of Shaheen and Ansha was revealed last year and now reliable sources have confirmed that the duo will be marrying in a nikah ceremony on the 3rd of February, 2023.
The sources understand that the Afridi family will get done with Shaheen-Ansha’s nikah ceremony before the start of the Pakistan Super League. The same source said that further events will be done after a gap of a few days.
Talking about cricket, the 23-year-old has gone through a lot during the ongoing calendar year of 2022. The Khyber-born pacer suffered a lot of injuries that forced him to stay away from international cricket and he couldn’t appear for the national side of Pakistan during a couple of crucial matches.
He was ruled out of the Asia Cup 2022 due to an injury in his knee ligament that he sustained during the second and last of the two-match Test series.
