Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi is yet to join Qalandars for the upcoming edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 league as his residential visa in the UAE has expired. Shahid Afridi has been informed about his expiration once he reached Dubai and hence he returned back to Pakistan to update his Visa. According to News 18, his visa renewal process is over and he will be heading to UAE again to join Qalandars.

Shahid Afridi is one of the most feared batsmen to bowl as he comes at you straight away from the first ball. He captained Pakistan for a long duration in the ODI format and he had a successful career as an all-rounder. He started as an opening batsman and then changed into a 10 over the reliable bowler in the 50 over matches. He is a much handy player in the T20 format and can strike the ball too long.
