Shaheen Afridi Gets NOC for Kandy Royals LPL 2025

Shaheen Shah Afridi is heading to the Lanka Premier League. Pakistan's premier left-arm quick has been granted a No Objection Certificate to represent Kandy Royals in the LPL, marking his second appearance in an overseas T20 franchise tournament within the last twelve months.

Afridi's involvement adds genuine star power to the Kandy Royals outfit. The towering pacer has long been one of the most dangerous new-ball operators in world cricket, and his ability to trouble top-order batters with swing and pace makes him a marquee signing in any T20 competition. Franchise cricket continues to pull Pakistan's biggest names across borders, and Afridi is no exception.

The LPL has steadily grown as a destination for international talent, and securing Afridi is a statement of intent from the Kandy Royals franchise. Keep an eye on all the latest cricket matches as the tournament gets underway and Afridi looks to make his presence felt with the new ball.

For everything happening across Octafield Cricket, from franchise T20 action to international fixtures, stay locked in as the global cricket calendar heats up.
