PESHAWAR: Pakistani cricket star Shaheen Shah Afridi was appointed as goodwill ambassador of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police on Monday.
A ceremony was also held in honour of Afridi in this regard, which was attended by Inspector General of Police KP Moazzam Jah Ansari and other officers. Speaking on the occasion, young blood Afridi, who can be seen wearing police uniform, said that it was an honour for him to be named as goodwill ambassador.
“My father has been representing police and my brother is still in police,” he said, adding that cricketers support the all forces of Pakistan. Earlier this year, Afridi was crowned cricketer of the year by the world governing body for his impeccable performance in 2021.
Afridi bagged the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for the ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year as he took 78 wickets in 36 internationals at an average of 22.20 with best bowling figures of 6/51. Lahore Qalandar skipper is the youngest cricketer to win the elusive award, while also being the first Pakistan player to achieve the feat.
