Said Nazeer Afridi

Said Nazeer Afridi, born on New Year's Day in 2001, has emerged as a significant all-rounder in the world of cricket, with an impressive prowess both at the crease and with the ball. Raised in the bustling city of Karachi, Afridi's journey to professional cricket began on the dusty pitches of his local neighbourhood, where he sharpened his skills with unwavering determination and a youthful zeal that would become his trademark. His passion for the game was evident from an early age, often spending hours practising under the watchful eye of his coach, who quickly recognised his talent.

Afridi's rise through the ranks of Pakistan’s domestic cricket was swift.
