Pakistan’s pace sensation Shaheen Shah Afridi will marry Ansha, daughter of Shahid Afridi, on February 3 in a grand wedding in Karachi. Ansha is Shahid’s second-born daughter and was engaged to the cricketer last year. Shaheen, who is 22, is set to begin a new chapter of his life ahead of the Pakistan Super League Season 8 (PSL 8), said a report in Economic Times. Shaheen is among the best pacers in the world at the moment and became more famous in India after ICC T20 World Cup 2021 match vs India in which he broke the back of Indian batting with wickets of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul in the opening spell.
The wedding ceremony will be in accordance with the Afridi tribal traditions. The formal wedding and rukhsati ceremony will take place later, said the report. Shaheen has PSL to play for Lahore Qalandars and maybe the other ceremonies will take place after conclusion of the league.
Ansha is a medical student in United Kingdom and Shaheen had earlier admitted in an interview that he wanted to marry her. The cricketer’s parents had approached Shahid’s family with the marriage proposal and the former captain of Pakistan cricket team agreed to the proposal.
