The 23-year-old dismissed opener Alex Davies LBW with a yorker and bowled our Chris Benjamin before Dan Mousley was sent off by playing straight into the hands of Olly Stone.
Afridi then bowled out Ed Barnard to complete his four-wicket haul. The pacer only gave 29 runs, however, and his side lost the match against Warwickshire by two wickets.

He signed for Nottinghamshire Outlaws for this year’s Blast.
In the 2020 edition of the tournament, he briefly represented Hampshire Hawks. In a match against Middlesex, he took four wickets on four deliveries.
