Shaheen Shah, who recently achieved a 200 wickets milestone had also dismissed Labuschagne twice during Pakistan’s tour to Australia in 2019 where the Kangaroos won the series by 2-0.
Labuschagne’s dismissal on Friday has pushed Glamorgan to another batting collapse at Sophia Gardens that left them struggling at 6-104 at stumps, while Afridi so far has match figures of 4-61.
Shaheen Shah has been an integral part of the Pakistan team since his debut back in 2019. He has played 24 Test matches for Pakistan and took 95 wickets. In ODI cricket, Shah has taken 59 wickets in his 30 international matches while in the shortest format he got 47 wickets in 40 matches.
The left-arm pacer was a leading wicket-taker in the Pakistan Super League season seventh where he took 20 wickets in 13 innings and also became the youngest PSL winning captain.
