Reflecting on his cherished moments from past editions, Afridi expressed his excitement to contribute as an ambassador in the upcoming tournament, stating, “The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup holds a special place in my heart. From clinching the Player of the Tournament title in the inaugural edition to lifting the trophy in 2009, some of the most unforgettable memories of my career were made on this prestigious stage.”
