The all-rounder has lately been sharing pictures of his trip to Gilgit-Baltistan.
Have a look at the pictures from Hassan Ali’s dreamy vacation.
Sharing a picture with his wife, Hassan wrote: “There is never a dull moment when Samiya Khan is around me.”
Former speedster Shoaib Akhtar has said that former all-rounder of Pakistan cricket team Shahid Afridi will follow the steps of Imran Khan and step into politics.
Speaking on Geo News programme ‘Jashan-e-Cricket’, Akhtar, who has earlier said he would have a huge vote bank if he contests elections, stated his mother had prohibited him from entering into politics.
While he said that he is 100 per cent sure that Afridi will step into politics following PM Khan.
Talking about the Pakistan Super League (PSL), he said he will turn it into an even bigger brand than the Indian Premier League (IPL) if he becomes the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
He also urged the Lahore Qalandars’ management to sell the franchise to him. “If I played PSL, I would opt to play for Lahore Qalandars.”
The former cricketer advised PM Imran Khan and the government on some political issues recently, including focusing on fixing “the problems of old Pakistan” instead of focusing on Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari and on the Murree tragedy.
The former pacer also predicted that the Qalandars, who are currently in a fine position, will get into a difficult situation in PSL seven’s Lahore leg.
Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has announced that he will be opening a restaurant, ‘Lala Darbar’, in Dubai. He has also shared a video in which he can be seen wearing an apron and slicing tomatoes.
Sharing the video, Afridi wrote: “One step closer to the big announcement. Revealing Soon.”
Afridi further added: “Get ready to give your taste buds a mouth-watering triple tarka!”
Afridi asked his followers to follow it on social media and he also revealed that the restaurant will be in Dubai.
This is not the first time that the former all-rounder has tried a venture. He had opened a restaurant ‘Splice’ in Lahore and earlier in March 2021, he had also launched a range of skincare products. Announcing the news on social media, Afridi shared that the new line, from the world of Hope Care, is named ‘Ooh Lala‘.
Besides this new skincare line, Afridi also has a clothing brand, ‘Hope Not Out’.
Pakistan’s star all-rounder Shahid Afridi has denied the rumours of his request of being given rest. Earlier, The News reported that Afridi had requested Pakistan Super League’s (PSL) franchise Quetta Gladiators to give him rest for some days after a bad spell against Islamabad United on Thursday.
Shahid Afridi told The Current that he has not asked to be rested, in fact, he is anxiously looking forward to the next matches.
Afridi had conceded 67 runs in a four-over spell against Islamabad United on Thursday and became the most expensive bowling figure in the history of the Pakistan Super League (PSL).
Earlier, Islamabad United’s Zafar Gohar held the record of conceding the most runs, 65.
It was also reported that Afridi did not attend the practice session at the High-Performance Centre, the report added.
On February 3, Afridi, who had returned to the squad after completing Covid-19 isolation, could not bowl up to mark.

The former Pakistan skipper bowled a total of four overs, where he conceded 67 runs and managed to take only one wicket. His most expensive over was the last over (20th), where he conceded 20 runs.
It should be noted that this was Afridi’s first match of his farewell PSL, after missing the initial games due to Covid-19, but was thrashed by the United batters Colin Munro and Azam Khan during his four-over spell.
Twitterati extended support to the all-round cricketer.
The communication manager of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Ibrahim Badees has recently shared that Shadab Khan has never dismissed Sarfaraz Ahmed in the history of Pakistan Super League (PSL). The former captain does not want the all-rounder Khan to dismiss him in today’s clash between Quetta Gladiators and Islamabad United.
Taking to Twitter, Badees wrote: “Shadab Khan has never dismissed Sarfaraz Ahmed in the history of HBL PSL. Can the leggie make it today?” Replying to the tweet, Sarfaraz said: “Same he rahne den plz In Shaa Allah. (Let it be the same please.)”
While Shadab joking replied to Sarfaraz and said: “Kaptan Chalo Allah kary same he rahy laken hum match jeet jain. (Captain, I hope it remains the same but wish that we win today)”.
Islamabad United currently finds itself at the number two position with one win in two matches. Despite losing the second game, they are confident of winning the third match on Thursday.
Quetta Gladiators, too, is coming off a defeat at the hands of the Multan Sultans. They currently have one victory in two games and, thus, finds itself at number three on the table.
An old video of Former Pakistan Cricket Team Captain Younis Khan is doing the rounds on social media in which he can be seen talking about Pakistan’s most loved cricketer Shahid Afridi and his fan following. The cricketer recalled the time when he was on the crease at 150 score and the crowd wanted him dismissed to watch Afridi play.
In the video of an old interview, Younis shared: “I was playing on 150 and Mohammad Yousuf was playing on 170 and we were playing against India. What we were hearing from the crowd was ‘dismiss Younis Khan, dismiss Mohammad Yousuf’. Why? Because Shahid bhai had worn his pads.”
Shahid, who was also sitting in front of him started laughing.
Younis further added that the crowd left as soon as Afridi got out and nobody waited for his double hundred.
“Shahid Afridi came to the crease. Hit a few sixes here and there and got out. Amazingly, the crowd left with him. They got value for their money. But here I was nearing a double hundred in front of an empty stand,” he added.
“What we see later was that the crowd was also leaving. I stood there and wondered: my 200 is almost done, watch me do that too. No, they were like ‘we have seen Shahid bhai hitting sixes, now we are going, Goodbye’.”
Younis did not clarify which match he was talking about but there is only one Test in Pakistan in which both he and Yousuf got hundreds against India. It took place in Lahore in 2006.
Younis had scored 199 while Yousuf slammed 173 as Pakistan pummelled the Indian bowling attack on a flat track. They ended up scoring 679/7 batting first.
Afridi, however had smashed a hundred in that match. The attacking all-rounder hit 7 sixes in his 80-ball 103.
