Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi’s departure for the upcoming T10 League has been delayed due to visa issues.

According to details, Afridi holds residential visa of United Arab Emirates (UAE) but that had expired which is why he was forced to stay back in Karachi. His initial plan was to leave for UAE yesterday.

After his new visa is updated in the immigration system, Afridi is likely to depart for UAE in one or two days.  

It must be noted that Afridi will represent the Qalandars in the upcoming edition of T10 League.

The leagues includes eight teams, Team Abu Dhabi, Maratha Arabians, Bangla Tigers, Deccan Gladiators, Qalandars, Delhi Bulls, Northern Warriors, and Pune Devils.

The event will run from January 28 to February 6, 2021 at the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
