Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi has taken to social media to share a touching first glimpse of his newborn son, Aliyaar Afridi.
Just two days after welcoming their first child, Shaheen and his wife, Ansha Afridi, celebrated this joyous occasion with a heartfelt post on Instagram.
In his emotional post, Shaheen expressed his overwhelming happiness and gratitude, writing, "This moment changes everything! My heart is full, and my life just got a whole lot better. 24/08/2024 will always be special to us. Welcome to the world, my son, Aliyaar Afridi."
He continued by acknowledging the strength and support of his wife, Ansha, saying, "I will forever be thankful to my wife for all the pain and sufferings she had to endure. She is literally the support system of our little family."
Shaheen also took a moment to thank his followers for their kind wishes, adding, "I am grateful for all the lovely wishes and prayers coming our way. Remember my little family in your prayers."
The announcement comes at a time when Shaheen continues to make headlines on the field.
During the second innings of the first Test against Bangladesh, the star pacer marked the birth of his son with a special on-field celebration. After dismissing Hasan Mahmud with a brilliant delivery, Shaheen performed a cradling gesture, honouring the arrival of Aliyaar.
This heartwarming moment has further endeared Shaheen to his fans, as they join in celebrating both his personal joy and his continued success on the cricket field.
