Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi has revealed the reason behind loving Test format the most.

In an exclusive interview with Cricket Pakistan, the 21-year-old said that his elder brother Riaz Afridi couldn't play many Tests for Pakistan, therefore, he desired to make his family proud by playing as many long-format matches.

"My brother likes Test cricket but he only played one Test and didn't get the chance to play again, so it became my wish to play maximum Test matches. Any format I play, I look to enjoy and try to execute performances for Pakistan," Shaheen said.

Shaheen also recalled the time when he used to go with his elder brother to see his first-class matches. He said after seeing him, the interest in becoming a pacer ignited and he started bowling.

"Bhai used to take me by himself in grounds and academies. I used to watch him and took interest in bowling. I had my coach since the start in the shape of my brother. He has guided me a lot. I always talk to him before and after the match where he tells me my mistakes," he added.
