Former England legendry pacer, Stuart Broad, expressed his admiration for Pakistan pacer, Shaheen Shah Afridi, hailing him as one of his favorite bowlers to watch in the world. 

Broad spoke highly of Afridi's remarkable presence and energy while running in to deliver his spells, noting that such attributes make the young Pakistan bowler a captivating sight on the cricket field.

The former pacer also went on to praise his natural skill, particularly highlighting his ability to swing the ball back into the right-handers, a trait that Broad finds particularly delightful to witness. 

"Shaheen Shah Afridi is one of my favorite bowlers to watch in the world. He's got such a presence about him when he runs in, and I love to see bowlers run in with energy and vibrancy to their run up. He's got such a natural skill - the way that ball swings back into the right-handers is such a pleasure to watch. And he represented the Notts Outlaws this summer, which is close to my heart. He's one of the bowlers I admire hugely, and I want to see him do well," he said.
