Pakistan is known for producing world-class bowlers and is often called the land of pacers. Be it Wasim Akram, Shoaib Akhtar or Waqar Younis, the list of speedsters from Pakistan is quite large.
The latest to have grabbed attention for his superb bowling is Shaeen Afridi, who has created a storm in PSL with his fast bowling. And no, he is not related to the Shahid Afridi, the enthralling all-rounder who has given some exciting moments to Pakistan to celebrate.
