24-year-old Abbas Afridi last played for Pakistan against Bangladesh in July 2024, having made his national team debut against New Zealand in January of the same year.

T20 record: Since his debut, he has played a total of 24 T20 matches, scoring only 134 runs at an average of 12.18 and a strike rate of 112.61.

Selectors' attention: His charismatic innings of 55 runs off 12 balls will certainly attract the attention of the national team selectors and could pave the way for his return to the team.
