Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi heaped praise on Pakistan’s ‘Lady Boom Boom’, Nida Dar, who made history by being the first Pakistani to ink a deal with Sydney Thunder.
Taking to Twitter, Afridi acknowledged Nida’s talent by referring to her as a ‘game changer’ and hoped that she would continue to keep on hitting boundaries.
“You are a game changer Lady Boom Boom may your sixes go far and may your story inspire millions and all the best of the #WBBL tournament @CoolNidadar,” he tweeted.
In an interview, Dar revealed how she had idolized Afridi growing up as a girl. Dar said in the interview that she used to play cricket with her brothers and cousins on the streets in Pakistan and no one would ever know that she was a girl.
“A lot of things have changed in Pakistan and more women are playing cricket,” she said. “The PCB is done a lot in this regard but more needs to be done.”
