It is always difficult to follow in the footsteps of a legend, especially one that is Shahid Afridi. Not only, does Shaheen wear the iconic number 10 jersey, but also carries the surname to carry on the legacy. In fact, the young fast bowler is soon to be a son-in-law to ‘Boom Boom’ Afridi. That’s a lot to carry!
