Shahid Afridi is the third cricketer from the country, and the second International after former opener Taufeeq Umar, to be tested positive for the virus. Zafar Sarfraz, the former first-class cricketer who passed away because of the disease, was the first.
Since the outbreak, Shahid Afridi has been doing a lot of charity work through his foundation “Hope Not Out”. Former Pakistani all-rounder has helped thousands of poor families with ration and other supplies over the past couple of months.
In a career spanning over 20 years, Afridi represented Pakistan in 27 Tests, 398 One-day Internationals (ODIs), and 99 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is). He scored 8,064 runs in ODIs, 1,716 runs in Tests, and 1,416 in T20is.
At the end of his career, Afridi impressed more with his bowling skills than his batting skills. He finished with 395 wickets to his name in the 50-over format in addition to taking 48 and 98 wickets in Tests and T20Is respectively.
