Shaheen Shah Afridi: Shaheen Shah Afridi endured a difficult start to his Big Bash League career after being taken out of the attack for dangerous bowling during Brisbane Heat’s clash with Melbourne Renegades here at the Simonds Stadium on Tuesday.
In the 18th over of the first innings, the Pakistani fast bowler’s night fell apart when he bowled two waist-high full tosses — one to Tim Seifert and another to Ollie Peake. The umpires deemed the deliveries dangerous, forcing Afridi to stop bowling and leaving Heat captain Nathan McSweeney to complete the final two balls of the over.
Afridi could only smile wryly as he walked off, and his debut spell ended prematurely with figures of 0 for 43 from 2.4 overs. The over proved costly, yielding 15 runs and including three no-balls, adding to an already difficult outing that also featured two wides.
