• Afridi’s daughter Ansha and Shaheen Shahid Afridi wed in Karachi on Friday.
• The nikkah was solemnised in front of close family members from both families.
• The left-armer will captain Lahore Qalandars in  eighth season of PSL.

On Friday, famous all-rounder Shahid Afridi’s daughter Ansha and Pakistani pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi got married.

In Karachi, the nikkah was solemnised in front of close family members from both families at a nearby mosque.

Two years prior, the pair had previously announced their engagement.

Soon after the nikkah, a reception was also organised. Cricketers from Pakistan Babar Azam, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Naseem Shah, and Shadab Khan were among those in attendance, as well as squash star Jahangir Khan.

Wasim Khan, general manager of the ICC, and Asim Saleem Bajwa, a former director general of the ISPR, were also present.

The left-armer expressed his desire to wed Ansha earlier this year.

“It was my wish and Alhumdulillah [thanks to Allah Almighty] it is fulfilled now,” Shaheen said

When Shaheen questioned Afridi about whether Ansha is envious of his female fan base, Afridi replied that he wasn’t sure.

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

The broadcaster then questioned Shaheen about hurting many of her female followers by getting engaged so young.

“I found my heart and that’s enough for me,” Shaheen remarked at this point.

It should be remembered that the lanky pacer will captain Lahore Qalandars in the eighth season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), where his team is the defending champion.

The 22-year-old has been sidelined since sustaining a knee injury on November 13 during the T20 World Cup 2022 final against England, but he will return in the PSL 8.
