Karachi, October 08: Flamboyant cricketer Shahid Afridi is all set to become the first Pakistani to play in South Africa’s domestic Twenty20 tournament as a deal with Nashua Dolphins for next year has been finalised.
Afridi confirmed yesterday that the Nashua Dolphins had approached him to play for them in the country’s pro T20 cricket league.
“They will officially announce my signing tomorrow. But I am excited at the prospect of being the first Pakistani to play in their domestic T20 league which is of high standards,” he said.
Afridi, who was instrumental in Pakistan’s T20 World Cup win in England earlier this year, said he would play for the Dolphins for two to three weeks in February after Pakistan’s tour of Australia ends.
