Pacer Shaheen signs three-year contract with Desert Vipers

Pakistan’s star pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi has signed a three-year contract with Desert Vipers for UAE’s International League T20 (ILT20). “I am excited to join the Desert Vipers. I know there are many Pakistan cricket fans in the UAE and I hope they will support our team in the upcoming ILT20,” Afridi said in a
statement.
Afridi has signed a three-year contract with the Vipers and became the first-ever cricketer from Pakistan to feature in the T20 league. The season is set to begin on January 13, and Afridi will join the squad after returning from Australia following the New Year’s Test in Sydney. Vipers recruited Azam Khan last year, making him the first Pakistani player in the ILT20, but the PCB eventually refused to issue him the no-objection certificate to play in the league. According to reports, PCB has relaxed its stance on allowing players to compete in multiple T20 competitions under current chairman Zaka Ashraf after players expressed discontent last year with the tight parameters imposed by the government at the time, led by Ramiz Raja.
