I started playing domestic cricket from Karachi Cricket Club. My brother also played cricket. That is how I really got interested. He started playing after watching Imran Khan; so did I. I started playing cricket for Pakistan in 1996″.This unknown 16 year old became a household name after his very first match. .

Career Summary

- Test Debut v Australia at Karachi – October 1998
- ODI Debut v Kenya at Colombo (SSC) – March 1996
- He was brought into international cricket as a 16-year-old leg-spinner and struck the fastest one-day hundred   in his maiden innings off only 37 balls.
- His reputation for the unexpected made him unable to command a regular position in the Pakistan team until   Bob Woolmer took over as coach.
- In early 2005, he hit the joint second fastest Test half-century at Bangalore and took crucial last day wickets,   in helping Pakistan memorably level the Test series.
- He currently has the best strike rate in ODIs, and also the record for most number of 6s in ODIs.

    We Indians also love you Afridi! Had it not been for your poor captaincy and rash stroke which led to your wicket, we may not have won the match and ultimately the WC. I wish you continue playing like this and bring glory to India!

  34. khair-un-Nisa says:

    Salaam
    I really respect you and I doubt you were involved
    what happened in the world cup…wasn’t pakistans real game against India..many people were hurt and let down because of dishonest people.I hope all dishonest and corrupt people are removed from our government and our cricket team.
