Shaheen Afridi — Career Overview

Shaheen Afridi is a bowler from Pakistan. Shaheen bats left handed bat and bowls left-arm fast-medium. Specialist bowlers are judged on wickets, economy, and the ability to deliver in pressure overs — new ball, middle overs containment, or the death. Pace, control and the variations a bowler can call on under pressure define a long international career. Pakistan is one of the playing nations represented across the international and franchise calendar, with players drawn from the domestic system and the academy pathway into the senior side. International batting record — 33 Tests: 256 runs at an average of 8.03, strike rate 44.78; 66 ODIs: 272 runs at an average of 14.47, strike rate 85.81; 75 T20Is: 182 runs at an average of 12.13, strike rate 127.27. International bowling — 120 wickets in Test at 27.89, economy 3.15 and 4 5-fer; 131 wickets in ODI at 24.28, economy 5.66 and 3 5-fer; 100 wickets in T20I at 21.24, economy 7.79. Franchise leagues — the IPL, PSL, BBL, CPL, SA20 and others — make up an increasing share of the modern cricket calendar, with selection in these competitions shaping income, exposure and the pathway back into national squads. Career statistics in cricket are best read across formats: a Test average, an ODI strike rate and a T20I economy each tell a different part of the story, and modern selection often turns on how a player splits their time across red-ball and white-ball cricket within a packed annual schedule. Recent form, opposition strength and conditions at the venue also weigh heavily alongside the headline numbers.
