Shaheen, who featured in the first Test against Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from 20 to 25 August, is not part of the 12-member squad announced on Thursday for the second Test match.

The decision was taken after a disappointing performance in the first Test, where the Pakistani pace attack struggled to contain the Bangladesh batsmen.

Bangladesh registered their first-ever Test win against Pakistan in Rawalpindi on Sunday, thanks to spinners Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib Al Hasan. The duo took seven wickets between them to secure a stunning 10-wicket victory.

Shaheen and his wife Ansha Afridi welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Aliyaar Afridi, the Afridi family said earlier this week. Ali Yar’s birth also makes ex-cricketer and Ansha’s father Shahid Afridi a grandfather.

Shaheen and Ansha tied the knot in Karachi in September 2023.

The left-arm fast bowler was also seen celebrating in style after taking his first wicket as a father.
