Shahid was asked about his daughter's engagement to famous pacer Shaheen in a recent interview with a private channel, and he said that if God wills, the young bowler will be his son-in-law in the future. Shaheen had no interaction with his daughter prior to this new relation, according to the cricketer.
Shaheen Afridi, a 21-year-old Pakistani cricketer, has risen to prominence in a short amount of time. He has so far represented Pakistan in 17 Tests, 25 One-Day Internationals, and 25 Twenty-20 Internationals. He debuted in international cricket at the age of 17 and has since played for the country on a constant basis. In ODIs and Test cricket, he has taken over 50 wickets.
He went on to say that Shaheen's parents had a great desire for the two families to formalise their friendship for the past two years.
