Shaheen Afridi is just 17 years old and has already drawn comparisons with Mitchell Starc

Shaheen Afridi has become one of the major talking points in Pakistan cricket. Right from the time he took 8/39 on his first-class debut, people have drawn comparisons between him and Mitchell Starc. Known for his pace and searing yorkers, Shaheen is having a wonderful 2018 season.

He had a stellar Under-19 World Cup where he took 12 wickets in 5 games at an average of 14.58 and a staggering economy of 3.58. This included a brilliant spell of 6/15, helping dismiss Ireland for just 98. He followed this success with a good outing in the PSL (playing for Lahore Qalandars). In his fourth game of the tournament, he took 5/4 and rattled Multan Sultans' batting line-up.

Picked for the first time in the national team, the 17-year-old left-arm pacer will be one of the players to watch out for in this series.
