Afridi is currently in the US on the Islamic Circle of North America’s (ICNA) invitation. He will be visiting New York, New Jersey and Florida on February 7, 8 and 9, he said in an ICNA video.
The ICNA has also organised a cricket camp in New Jersey.
However, before hitting New York, Afridi visited Louisiana and Texas, where he is also fundraising for his Shahid Afridi Foundation.

Great job ... well done Shahid aAridi & best wishes to Port arthur ...
Shahid LaLa is The true hero of our nation. He is our legend
Shahid Afridi is a great person and all yet he does not deserve this.
Why is this guy obsessed with religion?
Why is the lady with him not wearing Burqa?
It looks like the public's memory is short. Remember it was only a few years ago when he was seen tampering the wicket and biting a cricket ball during a test match. Now all of a sudden he is a saint who can do nothing sinister. Guess we set different standards for different people.
This is a big thing for Pakistan and i would like to congrates my mate Shahid Afridi for it, we should respect the talent where ever it exist.
honesty speaks itself. we love you afridi and love all those who are giving us respect. it is an honour that Pathans can die but they won't let your trust down. This is how we are made. We love you and hope that the differences and distances between all the humans will no longer be relevant and we will enjoy a peaceful world. May God bless all Humanity
No one remembers drones now.
@kay: America is chock full of people who can't speak English. FYI not being able to speak English does not make you sub-human.
@Raj - USA: Wouldn't put it past Americans! Remember the jokes about dubya and Iran/Iraq??
Mullah Shahid Afridi cannot even speak english what is he doing in US. Begging money as usual Pakistanis.
@Raj - USA:
:)
We Proud of you shahid bhai PAKISTAN ZINDA BAD
