"One of cricket's greatest mysteries has finally been solved...sort of.

Shahid Afridi, as many fans have long suspected, is not as young as official records have had it all these years. Afridi himself has made the revelation in his autobiography Game Changer released in India and Pakistan this week. In a chapter in which he describes his call-up to the senior Pakistan team in October 1996, Afridi writes that he was born in 1975. Though he doesn't give a month or day, that makes him, potentially, five years older than what he is: official records, including ESPNcricinfo's player profile pages record his date of birth as March 1, 1980."

He's an old man.

Looking forward to the revelation of Rashid Khan's real age.

This was Afridi's debut in 1996 when he scored the fastest 100. And his age was clearly stated as 21. Surprising ... not many people noticed that!

I hope he trolls everyone by occasionally releasing revised editions stating different years of birth

This is a very good photoshop picture.

In 1996 it was basically a colored clothes Orgy.

To have Afridi presented in a batting stance with first slip in full view (and with whites on)is a profile picture reminiscent of the generation before the great war.

Nice try lol.

So Boom Boom Afridi was more like Bang Bang Bart when he retired from tests 'prematurely'. He was actually old and washed up lol

So this insane guy played well into his forties, biffing sixes every 3rd ball and getting out every 7th ball. Started and ended his career playing like a 16 year old. Will never be another like him.
