Shahid Afridi has shot down rumors circulating on social media concerning his daughter’s health. Afridi, who was leading Galle Gladiators in the Lanka Premier League, abruptly left the competition and flew back to Pakistan to attend to a “family emergency”.
Unfortunately I have a personal emergency to attend to back home. I will return to join back my team at LPL immediately after the situation is handled. All the best.
