Pakistan premier speedster Shaheen Afridi on Monday faced an amusing yet frustrating situation during the much-anticipated Pakistan Super League (PSL) draft. Organised by the Pakistan Cricket Board, the event, hosted by former English fast bowler Dominic Cork, commenced with great fanfare this afternoon.
As proceedings kicked off, Cork invited Shaheen to announce Lahore Qalandars' first pick of the draft. However, a rather untimely microphone malfunction turned what should have been a straightforward announcement into an awkward and humorous moment. The left-arm pacer attempted to reveal the name twice, only for technical glitches to cut him off each time.
