WATCH: Babar Azam & co. attend Shaheen Shah Afridi’s wedding reception, avoid Haris Rauf’s wedding ceremony
The Pakistan Cricket team is set to tour Sri Lanka for the 2-match Test series starting on July 16. With this Test series, the Men in Green’s WTC 2023-25 cycle will also start and they will surely hope to qualify for the final this time. However, they had an embarrassing run in their home last year after getting beaten by Australia and England on their home soil.
Meanwhile, ahead of the series, many players of the Pakistan cricket team were spotted at Shaheen Shah Afridi’s wedding reception on Friday, July 7. The Pakistani speedster tied the knot with the former legendary Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi’s daughter, Ansha earlier this year in February.
