Pakistani fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi and his wife, Ansha Afridi, have joyfully welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Ali Yar, on Saturday. The news of their son’s birth brought a wave of congratulations from Pakistan cricket fans and Shaheen’s teammates on social media.
This moment marks a special occasion for former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi, as he becomes a grandfather for the first time with the birth of his daughter’s son.
While celebrating fatherhood, Shaheen is currently engaged in a two-Test series against Bangladesh. After completing the first Test, he will head to Karachi to reunite with his wife and their newborn. However, Shaheen plans to return to the team in time for the second Test, which will take place in Rawalpindi on August 30.
Shaheen Shah Afridi and Ansha Afridi tied the knot in February 2023. The couple’s nikkah (marriage contract) was solemnized at a local mosque in Karachi, with close relatives of both families present. Later, their wedding ceremony took place in September 2023 at a local hall in Karachi, followed by the Valima (reception) ceremony in Islamabad.
The wedding events were graced by the presence of several Pakistan cricket stars, adding a touch of cricketing glamour to the celebrations. Notable players such as Babar Azam, Shadab Khan, Imam-ul-Haq, and Haris Rauf were there to extend their best wishes to the newlyweds. Other prominent cricketers, including Naseem Shah, Fakhar Zaman, and Mohammad Rizwan, also joined the festivities and shared their warm congratulations with the couple.
This happy occasion has further deepened the connection between cricket and the Afridi family, as they continue to be a beloved part of Pakistan cricket history.
