Afridi Set to Lead Lahore in the PSL
The Pakistan Super League is due to begin on Monday, and supporters eagerly anticipate the tournament’s debut. This year’s event promises to be intriguing, with numerous significant names competing, including the defending winners, Lahore Qalandars, captained by the fit-again Shaheen Shah Afridi.
Injury Layoff
After making his professional debut in 2018, Afridi, the towering left-arm fast bowler, has been Pakistan’s bowling stalwart for the previous five years.
But, a knee injury sustained in the final of the T20 World Cup versus England forced him to endure a lengthy and arduous recovery before returning to the PSL.

Comeback in PSL
Afridi’s comeback to international cricket is a significant boost for Lahore, who will defend their PSL crown this year. Last year, Afridi guided Lahore to its first PSL championship in Pakistan’s main domestic Twenty20 event.
Since his appearance in the third season of the PSL in 2018, Afridi has been a dominant force in the competition. He has a knack for taking wickets during the batting powerplay and has claimed 70 wickets since his start. He is presently rated third all-time among PS wicket-takers.
Best Pace Bowling Pair
Afridi and Haris Rauf constitute the finest speed bowling combo in the PSL. Haris is capable of tying down batters in the latter part of innings with his speed and immaculate line and length, making it hard for the opponent to make runs. Lahore is going to be a strong team in the presence of Shaheen.
