Nottinghamshire Outlaws have added a world-class player to their squad with the signing of Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi for the 2023 T20 Blast. This is the second overseas signing for the Outlaws, following the acquisition of New Zealand’s Colin Munro.

Afridi brings a wealth of experience to the team with 47 International T20 caps, 25 Test appearances, and 32 One Day International appearances for his country. The left-arm pacer recently led Lahore Qalandars to back-to-back Pakistan Super League titles, making him a valuable addition to the Nottinghamshire team.

Afridi is excited about joining the Outlaws, stating that their aggressive brand of cricket suits him well. He also praised the team’s talented players such as Alex Hales, Colin Munro, and Joe Clarke, whom he has faced in recent years and been impressed by.

As a bowler, Afridi knows that Trent Bridge is a fast-scoring ground where he needs to get his line and lengths right. However, he is also aware that he can reap the rewards when he does so. He is looking forward to making an impact and helping the team achieve success.

Nottinghamshire Outlaws head coach Peter Moores is also thrilled to have Afridi in the team. He considers Afridi a world-class player with a point of difference that is crucial when recruiting for the team. Moores believes that Afridi’s proven ability to perform on big stages and his fiercely passionate style of play will be engaging for fans to watch.

Moores is confident that the signing of Afridi will invigorate the club and help them bounce back from last year’s campaign. Together with Munro, who is one of the top run scorers in the history of the format, the Outlaws have two unique talents who will play a big role in their pursuit of silverware.

Nottinghamshire Outlaws have made a strong statement of intent with the signing of Shaheen Shah Afridi. His experience, skill, and passion for the game make him a valuable addition to the team. Fans will be eagerly anticipating his performances in the upcoming 2023 T20 Blast season.
