Pakistan’s star fast bowler, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and his wife, Ansha Afridi, have welcomed a baby boy into their family, naming him Ali Yar.
The Afridi family joyfully announced the news on social media, receiving a wave of congratulations from fans and well-wishers globally.
This milestone is extraordinary for the cricketing family, as former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi celebrates becoming a grandfather for the first time.
Shaheen, currently participating in the Test series against Bangladesh, plans to leave for Karachi tomorrow night after the first Test concludes.
He is expected to return to the team in Rawalpindi before the second Test.
Shaheen and Ansha, Shahid Afridi’s second eldest daughter, got engaged in 2021. Their nikkah was held on February 3, 2023, followed by a week of celebrations and the Rukhsati in September of the same year.
Several prominent figures from the cricketing community attended the grand reception, hosted at DHA Golf and Country Club.
