Shaheen Afridi set to tie the knot in February 2023

KARACHI: Pakistan pace spearhead Shaheen Shah Afridi will tie the knot with legendary all-rounder Shahid Afridi’s daughter, Ansha, on February 3, 2023.

The couple’s engagement had already taken place two years ago.

Both the families are currently preparing for the couple’s Nikkah ceremony, with the rest of the wedding festivities set to take place at a later date.

Earlier this year, while speaking on Geo News show “Aik Din Geo Kai Sath”, the left-armer revealed that it was his wish to marry Afridi’s daughter, Ansha.

"It was my wish and Alhumdulillah [thanks to Allah Almighty] it is fulfilled now," a blushing Shaheen told the interviewer Sohail Warraich.

When Shaheen was asked whether Ansha feels jealous about his female fan following, Afridi said he is not sure about it.

"I am not sure, maybe she feels something like that," the cricketer quipped.

Further, the host asked Shaheen about upsetting plenty of female fans by getting engaged at an early age.

At this, Shahen said: "I found my heart and that's enough for me."

It must be noted that the lanky pacer was left out of the 18-member squad for the ongoing Test series against England due to a knee injury, which he suffered during the T20 World Cup 2022 final against England on November 13.

Shaheen also underwent appendectomy, which is a surgery to remove the appendix when it is infected, last month.

“I’m feeling better and doing gym training as well as cycling,” Shaheen said in a video released by the Pakistan Cricket Board earlier this month.

“I’m trying my best to ensure that I’m able to make a comeback soon,” he added.

The pacer’s return to international cricket will be subject to the fast bowler’s successful completion of the rehabilitation programme and following go-aheads by the medical staff.
