Young fast bowling sensation from Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi impressed everybody during the ICC U19 World Cup. More recently, he stunned everybody with a hattrick in Pakistan Super League (PSL). And now, Shaheen has two offers to play in the next edition of the Big Bash League (BBL).

Shaheen led Pakistan’s bowling attack in the ICC U19 World Cup picking 12 wickets. However, they lost in the semifinals against India.

Afridi impressed one and all with his excellent control and guile and had drawn praise from several former bowling greats. In his debut PSL, Afridi has shown a lot of prospect playing for Lahore Qalandars.

He was responsible for the Qalandars’ first win of the season after a horrid start. Afridi bagged a fifer against Multan Sultans giving away only four runs in his four overs. So far, he has picked up seven wickets in Pakistan’s premier T20 competition.

Meanwhile, according to Geo.tv, the 17-year-old pacer has received interest from two BBL sides in securing his services for next year. Afridi is expected to announce his final decision on the two BBL offers in the coming days.

However, he has already earned a contract with Dhaka Dynamites in Bangladesh Premier League for the next edition.
