Stuart Broad calls Shaheen Afridi his favourite bowler

Recently retired England pace bowler Stuart Broad showered praise on Pakistan’s premier fast bowler Shaheen Afridi’s bowling action and termed him one of his favourite bowlers.

Talking to Sky Sports, Broad said, “Shaheen Shah Afridi is one of my favourite bowlers to watch in the world. He’s got such a presence about him when he runs in, and I love to see bowlers run in with energy and vibrancy to their run up.”

He further praised Shaheen for his impressive bowling skills, “He’s got such a natural skill — the way that ball swings back into the right-handers is such a pleasure to watch,”

Stuart Broad recently retired from international cricket at the end of Ashes 2023, with 604 wickets in 167 test matches.

Shaheen Shah Afridi, who represented Stuart Broad’s home county side, Notts Outlaws in this year’s T20 Blast, made his presence felt with his all-round abilities.

The left-arm pacer picked up 21 wickets in 13 matches during his T20 Blast stint. He also made notable contributions with the bat for the Outlaws, whose journey ended after a five-wicket defeat against eventual champions Somerset in the quarter-final.

“And he represented the Notts Outlaws this summer, which is close to my heart. He’s one of the bowlers I admire hugely, and I want to see him do well,” Broad added.

Shaheen Afridi is playing for Welsh Fire in the ongoing The Hundred and has set the league on fire with his fiery pace bowling. He picked three wickets in two games. Shaheen’s team will face Oval Invincibles tomorrow.

The Hundred started on August 1, and the final is set to take place on August 27 at Lord’s. Trent Rockets are defending champions, having won the final in 2022 by defeating Manchester Originals by two wickets.

Nottinghamshire sign Shaheen for Vitality Blast 2023

Nottinghamshire on Thursday announced the signing of Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi for their Vitality Blast 2023 campaign. 

Taking to Twitter, Nottinghamshire welcomed the star Pakistan seamer to the Notts Outlaws for the upcoming T20 Blast season.

The 22-year-old recently led Lahore Qalandars to their second consecutive PSL title and became the only captain in the tournament’s history to defend the championship.

He was also signed by the Welsh Fire for ÂŁ100,000 in the recently-held the Hundred draft for the third edition of the league.

“In Shaheen, we’ve got a world class player – which is really exciting – and a player with a point of difference with the ball, which is crucial when we are looking to recruit,” said Nottingham head coach Peter Moores.

Moores called Afridi a ‘box-office-player’ who would help Nott Laws to bounce back in the tournament after missing out on qualification for the knockout stages last season.

“We want to bounce back from last year’s campaign, and this signing invigorates the club; he makes impacts in big games, and is a box office player. Alongside Munro, who is one of the top run-scorers in the history of the format, we’ve got two very unique talents, both of whom will play a big role for us as we look to bring back silverware,” he added.

Shaheen is the second overseas signing of the club after top-order batter Colin Munro.

“Notts play an aggressive brand of cricket, which suits me well,” said Shaheen in a media statement by the club.

“They’ve had great success in recent years and the likes of Alex Hales, Colin Munro and Joe Clarke are players I have faced up against in recent years and been impressed by.”

“The goal is obviously to influence games to make the team as successful as possible. Having played at Trent Bridge, I know it is a fast-scoring ground and as a bowler you need to get your line and lengths right, but you also get the rewards when you do that.” he concluded.
