Ad

Shaheen Afridi made his debut in Test cricket on 3 December 2018 against New Zealand at Abu Dhabi. Shaheen took 3 wickets in the match, and the New Zealand cricket team won the match by 123 runs.

He impressed on his maiden tour of South Africa in early 2018, claiming 9 wickets in 2 Tests at 26.66 apiece. However, Shaheen struggled to adapt to the conditions of Australia, England, and New Zealand during his maiden tours between 2019 and 21.

He managed just 5 wickets in 2 innings in Australia; 5 in England in 4 innings at 51.60 apiece, and 6 wickets in 3 innings in New Zealand at 42.83. However, he found success at home, and on 19th December 2019, Shaheen went on to register his maiden five-wicket haul against Sri Lanka in Karachi, thereby becoming the eighth-youngest from Pakistan to achieve the feat.

The year 2021 proved to be a landmark year for Shaheen as he became the 3rd youngest pacer since 2000 to take a 10-wicket haul in Tests. Afridi was just 21 years and 136 days old when he registered figures of 6-51 and 4-53 against the West Indies at the iconic Sabina Park in Jamaica. He finished as Pakistan's leading Test wicket-taker in 2021- 47 wickets in 17 innings at 17.06 apiece, with three 5-fors and 1 10-wicket-haul.
