Ansha Afridi is the oldest daughter of former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi. Last year, in September, Ansha got married to Pakistan’s young pacer Shaheen Afridi. There is speculation that the couple is all set to welcome their newborn baby, which is currently the talk of the town. Looking more into their wedding, there was a huge celebration that took place, which included mehndi and various forms of wedding activities. It was also attended by many prominent names, from cricketers to politicians.
Shaheen Afridi and his wife Ansha expecting their first child
In the recently flowing rumors, one rumor is taking a flight as there is news coming from Pakistan that Shaheen Afridi and his wife Ansha are expecting their first child. Shaheen Afridi may miss the Bangladesh Test matches due to the impending birth of his child. The national side is set to take on Bangladesh in a two-match Test series in August.
Jason Gillespie confirms Shaheen Shah Afridi to miss Bangladesh test due to parenthood
The news became a hot topic when Pakistan’s test bowling coach, Jason Gillespie, stated that Shaheen Afridi might miss the Bangladesh Test matches due to the childbirth of his wife. He may take some time off to rest and spend time with his wife and family.
Looking about the good news, as mentioned by Jason Gillespie, who appeared on Geo News, where he detailed that this ace pacer wanted to spend more time with his family ahead of this big announcement. However, it’s important to note that Afridi has been in the spotlight due to reports of misbehaviour with the coaching staff. It was reported that the ace pacer misbehaved with batting coach Mohammad Yousuf during Pakistan’s tour to England, ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024.
Amid all this negativity, the news of the baby is nothing but a boon for Shaheen Afridi as he prepares to enter parenthood with his wife, Ansha Afridi. The Pakistan ace bowler has been a significant figure in the national team, and the Pakistan Cricket Board has been closely monitoring his career. His elder brother, Riaz Afridi, who played a solitary Test match for Pakistan in 2004, has also been a part of his cricketing journey.
Ansha Afridi, Shahid Afridi’s daughter, has been a supportive partner throughout Shaheen’s career. The couple’s nikah and wedding ceremonies have been in the limelight, and Shaheen has expressed his desire to stay with his wife till the childbirth. Shaheen Shah Afridi’s achievement as the youngest cricketer to take a five-wicket haul in a ODI World Cup match further cements his legacy in the sport.
