5 T20 Specialists we wish still played international cricket

3. Shahid Afridi

Pakistan v England - 3rd International T20

You’d be forgiven for thinking that Shahid Afridi had retired as he’s been around for a long time. He made his ODI debut as a 16-year old back in 1996 and played his final international game in 2016. He’s one of the great entertainers and “Boom Boom” has captivated the world over with his ability to swing the bat.

He holds the record for hitting the most number of sixes in the history of ODI cricket, but that masks his ability with the ball.

He’s always been a good bowler, but his leg spin not only skittled many a batting order, but his variations ensured a superb economy rate in the middle overs. He’ll be remembered for his batting, even though it didn’t always come off. He can still be found playing in the BPL, PSL and T20 Blast.
