The left-arm pacer was last seen in action during the 2020 edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in which he represented Lahore Qalandars. However, the knock out matches of the tournament was called off amid the coronavirus crisis. Nevertheless, Afridi will be expected to continue his good form and with the ICC T20 World Cup 2020 scheduled to be played later this year, Pakistan's success in the gala T20 tournament will be critical to the pacer's form.
