Shahid Afridi to Represent Pakistan at Over 40s World Cup

 Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi will don the national colours once again in the Inaugural Over 40s World Cup, set to be held here in September-October, the country’s veteran cricket association announced on Friday.

Afridi, who represented Pakistan from 1996 to 2016, agreed to feature for the veterans’ side after a meeting with Pakistan Veterans Cricket Association chairman Fawad Ijaz Khan and other officials on Thursday, said a PVCA press release.

The former all-rounder currently runs a social welfare foundation — named after himself — which will be the “CSR Partner” for the tournament, according to the association.

The Over 40s World Cup will see eight teams — from Australia, West Indies, Canada, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, UAE and the US — vie for the honours at the National Bank Stadium here from Sept. 23 to Oct. 8.

Former Pakistan captains Younis Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq will also feature for Pakistan in the tournament.
