Thank you very a lot for all the beautiful birthday needs – 44 at the moment! My household and my followers are my largest property. Really having fun with my stint with Multan and hope to provide match successful performances for all MS followers.

According to official International Cricket Council (ICC) information, Afridi’s age is 41. In 2019, Afridi revealed in his autobiography that he had been born in 1975 and never 1980 as per the official information, which might make him 46 now. However, Afridi had created extra confusion by stating in his e-book that he had been 19 in 1996.
“Also, for the record, I was just nineteen (when he hit the whirlwind 37-ball century, the third fastest ODI century), and not sixteen like they claim. I was born in 1975. So, yes, the authorities stated my age incorrectly,” Afridi was quoted as writing in his e-book.
