Karachi: Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi on Sunday confirmed that his daughter is getting engaged to current national team pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Afridi said that Shaheen's family had made a formal approach asking for his daughter's hand in marriage.

"Both families have reached a decision and my daughter is going to be engaged to Shaheen," Afridi said.

He added that a formal engagement will be announced soon.


Shaheen's father Ayaz Khan also confirmed that he had sent the proposal to Afridi's family for his son and it has been accepted.
