During the T20 World Cup 2022 final match versus England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Afridi hurt his knee while attempting to capture Harry Brook.

The pacer has not played competitive cricket since that time, but on February 13—following the PSL 8 opening ceremony—the Qalandars and Multan Sultans will square off in the league’s first match at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
