Shaheen Afridi Opts Out Of The Hundred, Will Play In Canada's Global T20 League: Report
Afridi picked six wickets in as many matches for Welsh Fire in the last season. He was retained by the franchise on a contract worth one lakh pounds, the second-highest salary for the 2024 season. England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed his departure from the league on Monday. "I'm sad to miss out on playing for Welsh Fire this year. I enjoyed The Hundred a lot last season, and I was excited about being back in Cardiff. I wish Mike (Hussey, Welsh Fire's coach) and the team the best of luck for 2024," Afridi said in a statement.
As per an ESPNcricinfo report, Afridi has told ECB that he is reluctant to commit four weeks to the league away from his family. The Hundred will commence on July 23 and will conclude on August 18, with players joining the squad days before their opening match.
