Biography Of
Shaid Afridi
Shahid
Afridi born Sahibzada Mohammad Shahid Khan Afridi (born
on 1 March 1980) is a Pakistani cricketer. Between 1996 and 2012, Afridi played
27 Tests,
350 One
Day Internationals, and 59 Twenty20
Internationals(T20Is) for the Pakistani
national team. He made his ODI debut on 2 October 1996
against Kenya and his Test debut on
22 October 1998 against Australia.
He is known for his aggressive
batting style,[3] and holds the record for the fastest
ODI century which he made in his first international innings, as well as
scoring 32 runs in a single over, the second highest scoring over ever in an
ODI.[4] He also holds the distinction of having hit
the most number of sixes in the history of ODI cricket.[5] Afridi considers himself a better bowler than
batsman, and has taken 48 Test wickets and over 350 in ODIs. Currently
Afridi is third on the list of leading wicket takers in the Twenty20 format,
behind Saeed Ajmal and Umer Gul of Pakistan, taking 62 wickets from 56
matches.[6] Shahid Afridi has signed to play for Sydney Thunder in Australia’s Twenty20 Big Bash league.[7] In June 2009, Afridi took over the Twenty20
captaincy from Younus Khan,
and was later appointed ODI captain for the 2010 Asia Cup. In his
first match as ODI captain against Sri Lanka he scored a century however
Pakistan still lost by 16 runs. He then also took over the Test captaincy but
resigned after one match in charge citing lack of form and ability to play Test
cricket; at the same time he announced his retirement from Tests. He retained
the captaincy in limited-overs form of the game and led the team in the 2011 World Cup. In May
2011, having led Pakistan in 34 ODIs, Afridi was replaced as captain.
Later that month he announced his conditional retirement from international
cricket in protest against his treatment by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). However, in October he reversed his
decision. UNICEF and
Pakistani authorities have taken Shahid Afridi
on board for its anti-polio campaign in the tribal belt of lawless
Waziristan region.[8]
Background
Afridi was born on 1 March 1980 in Khyber Agency of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Pakistan. He is from the Afridi tribe ofPashtuns,[2] and can speak Pashto, Urdu and English languages fluently. Afridi is
married to Nadia and has four daughters.[9]
International career
In October 1996 at the age of sixteen Afridi was drafted into the
ODI team during the four-nation Sameer Cup 1996–97 as a leg spinner as a replacement for the injured Mushtaq Ahmed.[10] He made his debut on 2 October against Kenya, however he didn't bat and went wicketless.[11]In the next match against Sri Lanka,
Afridi batted at number three in the role of a pinch-hitter. In his first international innings, Afridi
broke the record for fastest century in ODI cricket, reaching his hundred from
37 balls. The eleven sixes he struck also equalled the record for most in
an ODI innings.[12][nb 1] Aged 16 years and 217 days, Afridi became the
youngest player to score an ODI century.[14] Pakistan posted a total of 371, at the time the
second-highest in ODIs, and won by 82 runs; Afridi was named man of the
match.[12]
Two years after appearing on the international scene, Afridi made
his Test debut in the third game of a three-match series against Australia on 22 October 1998.[15] By this point he had already played 66 ODIs, at the
time a record before playing Tests.[16] He opened the batting, making scores of 10 and 6, and took
five wickets in the first innings.[15] He played his second Test the following January during
Pakistan's tour of India; it was the first Test between the two countries since 1990.[17] Again opening the batting, Afridi scored his maiden Test
century, scoring 141 runs from 191 balls. In the same match he also
claimed three wickets for 54 runs.[18] After winning the first match by 12 runs, Pakistan lost
the second to draw the series.[19]
In 2001, Afridi signed a contract to represent Leicestershire.
In five first-class matches he scored 295 runs at an average of 42.14,
including a highest score of 164,[20] and took 11 wickets at an
average of 46.45;[21] Afridi also played 11 one
day matches for the club, scoring 481 runs at an average of 40.08[22] and taking 18 wickets at
24.04.[23] His highest score of 95 came
from 58 balls in a semi-final of the C&G Trophy to help Leicestershire
beat Lancashire by
seven wickets.[24] Derbyshire
County Cricket Club signed Afridi to play for them in the first
two months of the2003 English
cricket season.[25] In June 2004 Afridi signed
with English county side Kent to
play for them in three Twenty20 matches and
oneTotesport League match.[26]
An innings-by-innings breakdown of Afridi's Test match
batting career up to 30 December 2007, showing runs scored (red bars) and the
average of the last ten innings (blue line)
Afridi made his presence felt in the third Test
against India in March 2005, scoring a
quick-fire second-innings half-century and taking five wickets in the match
(including Tendulkar twice) to help Pakistan to win the game and
register a series draw.[27] In
April Afridi struck what at the time was the equal second-fastest century in
ODIs; he reached 100 off 45 deliveries against India, sharing the record
with West Indian Brian Lara.[28] Afridi
was more consistent with his batting and bowling throughout 2005, starting with
the tours of India and West Indies and through to
the England tour. The Pakistani
coach Bob Woolmer helped Afridi to reach a fuller
potential by improving his shot selection and giving him free rein over his
batting attitude.
On 21 November 2005, Shahid Afridi was banned for a Test
match and two ODIs for deliberately damaging the pitch in the second match of
the three-Test series against England. Television cameras pictured him
scraping his boots on the pitch scuffing the surface when play
was held up after a gas canister exploded. Afridi later pleaded guilty to a
level three breach of the ICC code of conduct relating to the spirit of the game. Match
referee Roshan Mahanama said:
"This ban should serve as a message to players that this type of behaviour
is not allowed."[29][30][31]
On 12 April 2006, Afridi announced a temporary retirement from
Test cricket so that he could concentrate on ODIs, with a particular focus on
the 2007 World Cup, and to spend more time with his family. He
said he would consider reversing his decision after the World Cup. Afridi had
played ten Tests since being recalled to the side in January 2005, averaging
47.44 with the bat including four centuries.[32] However, on 27 April he reversed his decision, saying that
"[Woolmer] told me that I am one of the main players in the team and squad
and that Pakistan really needed me".[33] Before Pakistan toured England in July to September, Afridi played for Ireland as an overseas player in the C&G Trophy.[33] In six matches, he scored 128 runs[34] and took seven wickets.[35]England won the four-match Test series 3–0;[36] Afridi played two matches, scoring 49 runs[37] and took three wickets.[38] It was the last Test cricket Afridi played until 2010.[39]
Afridi was charged on 8 February 2007 of bringing the game into
disrepute after he was seen on camera thrusting his bat at a spectator who
swore at him on his way up the steps after being dismissed. Afridi was given a
four-game ODI suspension, the minimum possible ban for such an offence, meaning
that he would miss Pakistan's first two 2007 World Cup matches. The PCB and
Afridi chose not to appeal the ban, despite feeling that the punishment was
excessively harsh.[40]
In the 2007
World Twenty20, he performed poorly with the bat but
brilliantly with the ball, earning the Man of the Series award, though he
failed to take a wicket in the final and was out for a golden duck.But in the
next ICC Twenty20 World Cup, held in 2009 Afridi performed brilliantly in the
series scoring 50 runs in the semi-final and 54 in the final and leading his
team to victory.
Captaincy
(2009–2011)

World Twenty20 in June 2009
Shortly after Pakistan won the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 the
captain Younis Khan announced his retirement
from Twenty20 cricket the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) subsequently announced that Shahid Afridi had
taken over as captain in T20Is; the appointment was initially for one match,
with a decision on the permanent replacement to be made later.[41] On 31 January 2010, Afridi was
caught on camera biting into the ball towards the end of the 5th Commonwealth Bank ODI series in Australia.[42] Later Afridi pleaded guilty
to ball tamperingand he was banned from two Twenty20 internationals.[43]
In March 2010 the board announced that Shahid Afridi had been
appointed ODI captain in place of the sacked Mohammad
Yousuf he led Pakistan in
the2010 Asia Cup and during his first three matches as ODI
captain he scored two centuries against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh he finished as
the tournaments highest runscorer with 384 runs from 3 matches.
On 25 May 2010, Afridi was appointed captain of the national team
in all three formats, after he announced his return to Test cricket.[44] In July 2010, Afridi captained Pakistan in the first Test of
the series at Lord's against England. He scored 31 off 15
deliveries in the first innings and 2 in the second but was dismissed
succumbing to rash strokes in both the innings. After the match, he announced
retirement from Test cricket again citing lack of temperament for Test cricket
as the reason.[45] Afridi was officially removed from the Test squad on the
England tour, but after the spot-fixing scandalsaw Mohammad Asif, Mohammad Amir and Test captain Salman Butt temporarily suspended by the International
Cricket Council, he stated that he
might return to Test cricket if "the team needs it".[46] According a representative of Afridi, he had voiced his
concerns about Mazhar Majeed – who had approached Pakistan's
players – in June.[47] Majeed also confirmed that he approached Afridi, Abdul
Razzaq, Younis Khan and Saeed Ajmal but all off them refused to
be affiliated with him of his fixing menace. Worth mentioning is that the four
names given above were not associated in the original scandal and that no
disciplinary action have been taken against them by the sports governing body
the International Cricket Council.[48]
In October, Afridi stated in an interview with Express
News that the squad had been selected without his consultation; the
PCB gave him an official warning for the interview.[49] Coach Waqar Younis also expressed his
unhappiness at having no input in selection, however Mohsin Khan, the chief selector, defended the
decision, stating "it is not written down in the PCB constitution that the
coach and captain(s) must have a say in the selection of any squad".[50] Pakistan lost the series 3–2.

Somerset at the County Ground, Taunton, during Pakistan's 2010 tour of England.
The team toured New Zealand between December 2010 and February
2011 for two Tests, six ODIs, and three T20Is. Pakistan lost the first two
T20Is but won the third; in final match Afridi became the first cricketer to
reach 50 international wickets in the format.[51] In the same match, he also
became the first cricketer to have completed the double of 500 runs and 50
wickets in the T20 Internationals.[52] When Pakistan's squad for the
2011 World Cup was announced no captain was named; Afridi, the incumbent ODI
captain and Misbah-ul-Haq, the
Test captain, were the front runners for the position.[53]Pakistan lost the first match against
New Zealand by 8-wickets, the second match got rained out and in the third
Mohammad Hafeez scored a century and Afridi scored a blistering 65 from just 25
balls. The following match was a tight game but Pakistan prevailed by
two-wickets thanks to three boundaries from Sohail Tanvir, the match was set up
by a 93 not out from Misbah-ul-Haq. The fifth ODI was won for Pakistan by 43 runs
courtesy of a maiden ODI-century from Ahmed Shehzad. Afridi helped in the lower
order by scoring 24 and taking two crucial top order wickets to help guide
Pakistan to a 43-run victory and their first ODI series win in two years.[54]
After gaining victory as a captain against New Zealand, the PCB
declared Shahid Afridi as Pakistan's captain for the 2011 World Cup. In
Pakistan's opening match of the tournament, Afridi took 5 wickets for
16 runs against Kenya, giving him the best bowling figures by a
Pakistan bowler in a World Cup.[55] In the following match against Sri Lanka, which Pakistan
won, Afridi claimed for more wickets to help his side to victory and became the
second player to have scored 4,000 runs and taken 350 wickets in
ODIs.[56][nb 2] He claimed 17 wickets from 6 matches in the first
round of the Cup, including a five-wicket haul against Canada,[57] as Pakistan finished top of their group and progressed to
the next stage.[58] After beating the West Indies in the quarter-final, with
Afridi taking four wickets,[59] Pakistan were knocked out of the semi-finals in a 29-run
defeat to India.[60] Afridi was the tournament's joint-leading wicket-taker with
21 wickets, level with India's Zaheer Khan, even though Afridi had played one
match less than him.[61]
Soon after the World Cup Pakistan toured the West Indies for a T20I, five ODIs, and two Tests. Pakistan lost the only
T20I[62] but won the ODI series that
followed 3–2.[63] Afridi took two wickets and scored 28 runs in the
series.[64][65] The coach, Waqar Younis, fell out with Afridi and in his
report on the tour criticised Afridi, saying "as a captain he is very
immature, has poor discipline, lacks a gameplan and is unwilling to listen to
others' opinions or advice".[66] After the series, on 19 May the PCB replaced Afridi as ODI
captain with Misbah-ul-Haq for the two-match ODI series against Ireland later
that month. In 34 ODIs as captain, Afridi led his side to 18 wins and
15 defeats.[67] Afridi subsequently withdrew from the touring squad, citing
the illness of his father.[68]
Conditional retirement
and return (2011)
On 30 May Afridi announced his conditional retirement from
international cricket in protest against his treatment by the PCB. The
condition on his return was that the board be replaced.[69] The PCB suspended Afridi's central contract, fined him
4.5 million rupees ($52,300), and revoked his no-objection certificate
(NOC) which allowed Afridi to play for Hampshire. Afridi filed a petition with
the Sindh High Court to overturn the sanctions. On 15 June,
Afridi withdrew his petition after an out of court settlement and the PCB
reinstated his NOC.[70] When the PCB's central contracts were renewed in August,
Afridi's was allowed to lapse.[71] In October he withdrew his retirement as Ijaz Butt had been
replaced as chairman of the PCB. [72] Two weeks after his announcement, Afridi was included in
Pakistan's squad to face Sri Lanka in three ODIs and a T20I.[73] In November 2011, Afridi became the only cricketer to score
a half-century and take five wickets on two separate occasions in ODIs.[74] Afridi achieved this feat in the fourth ODI against Sri
Lanka which helped Pakistan to secure the one-day series.[75] He also became the first person to score 50 in his 50th T20
International (he is the only one to have played 50 T20Is as of 9 July 2012).
Afridi holds the most Player of the Match awards with 7, one above Sanath Jayasuriya and Kevin Pietersen who are both tied in 2nd place with 6.[52]
In 2013 during the first ODI game against the West Indies in Guyana, Afridi finished with
figures of 7/12, the second best ODI bowling figures of all time.[76][77]
Playing style
Batting
His general style of batting is very aggressive and attack
oriented and has earned him the nickname "Boom Boom Afridi".
Moreover, out of the sevenfastest ODI centuries of all time, Afridi has produced three of
them.[78] As of May 2013, he has an ODI strike rate of 114.53 runs per 100 balls, the third
highest in the game's history.[79] This attitude has been transferred to Test cricket as well,
with Afridi scoring at a relatively high strike rate of 86.97. He has an
approach to batting that can change the tempo of a game and inspire the mood of
an audience, as shown when a mass exodus of spectators occurred in Pakistan in
late 2005 following his dismissal from the crease.
He hits many sixes long and high, favouring straight down the
ground or over midwicket and hit the longest ever six in the history of ODIs
against Australia. His trademark shot is a cross-batted flick to the leg-side to a ball outside off stump.[80] However, his aggressive style increases his risk of getting
out and he is one of the most inconsistent batsmen in cricket. This is
reflected by the fact that he is the only player to score more than 7,000 ODI
runs at an average under 25.[81] Afridi has moved about the batting order, and this lack of
consistency has made it difficult for him to settle. In theIndian subcontinent, where the ball quickly loses its shine, he
prefers to open the batting however elsewhere he prefers to bat at number six.[82]
Bowling
Having started as a fast bowler, Afridi decided to start bowling
spin after he was told he was throwing. He modelled himself on Pakistan leg-spinnerAbdul Qadir.[2] Afridi began his career as primarily a bowler, however after
scoring the fastest century in his maiden ODI innings more was expected of him
with the bat. He considers himself a better bowler than batsman.[82] While he is renowned for his aggressive batting, he is also
a handy leg-spinnercapable of producing a good mix of wicket taking
balls.[83] He has over 350 International wickets,
most of which are from the ODI format. While his stock ball is the leg break, his armoury also includes the conventional off break and a "quicker one" which he can deliver in the
style of a medium-pacer, reaching speeds of around 130 km/h (81 mph).[84] He bowls at a high speed for a spinner, resulting in lesser
turn, and relying more on variations in speed. He occasionally sends down
a bouncerto a
batsman, which is very rare for a spin bowler.
