Desert Vipers have confirmed the signing of Shaheen Shah Afridi. The organisers of the DP World International League T20 recently announced Pakistan players would be available to play when the competition returns for its second season in January.

The Vipers, who were runners-up in the inaugural edition of the UAE franchise competition back in February, are the first side to announce a Pakistan star will be joining their ranks.

They teased the news on Sunday when they posted a none-too-cryptic message on social media. The post on X included an eagle emoji, a green sports car with the No 10 on the number plate, as well the speed of 145kmh.

The franchise and the league confirmed on Monday that the left-arm fast bowler has agreed a three-year contract with the Vipers.
