Pakistan’s renowned fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi and his wife, Ansha Afridi, have joyfully announced the birth of their first child. The couple has named their baby boy Ali Yar, a name that marks a new chapter in their lives. This exciting news was shared with fans worldwide through social media, prompting a flood of congratulatory messages from supporters and well-wishers across the globe.
The arrival of little Ali Yar is not only a significant event for the Afridi family but also a milestone for former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Khan Afridi, who is now a grandfather for the first time. This joyous occasion adds to the family’s cricketing legacy, celebrating both personal and professional achievements.
Earlier in July, speculation about the couple’s growing family had surfaced, with reports suggesting that Shaheen might miss the upcoming Test series against Bangladesh due to the expected arrival of their child. This news had been confirmed by Pakistan’s red ball coach, Jason Gillispie, highlighting the impact of personal milestones on professional commitments.
