A special message for the couple was posted by Afridi following the wedding. “Daughters grow with immense blessings, making them the most beautiful flower in your garden. You can fantasise, laugh, and love unconditionally with your daughter. I gave my daughter to @iShaheenAfridi as a dad, and I’m happy for both of them “Shahid Afridi tweeted.

Shaheen, recently opened up about his time in rehab, when he was on the verge of giving up cricket but managed to stay inspired by watching his own old films.
“Occasionally, I considered giving up. I was only training on one muscle, and it was not getting stronger. I used to tell myself repeatedly during the therapy sessions, “This is enough; I can’t do this any longer.” But after seeing how well I had performed while watching my bowling on YouTube, I became inspired and pushed myself to “push a bit harder” A fast bowler missing cricket due to an injury is disappointing “on YouTube, Shaheen stated.
Shaheen-led Lahore Qalandars will play Multan Sultans on February 13 to begin off the eighth PSL season. Shaheen was instrumental in helping Lahore Qalandars win their first PSL championship last season, contributing both with the ball and the bat.
