Pakistani allrounder Shahid Afridi has expressed an interest in playing in the KFC Big Bash League. Afridi revealed that he has regularly been offered deals to play in the tournament but his commitment to Pakistan Cricket team kept him away. 

"I was offered to play Big Bash League in Australia almost every season in the last two or three years but I wasn't able to take the offer due to my international commitments," he added. 

"But if I am offered it this year I'll surely give it a go."

Afridi played for Melbourne Renegades in BBL-01 and was set to play with Sydney Thunder in BBL-02 before pulling out of his contract a month before the tournament began.
