Abbas Afridi is a pace bowler, still in his early 20s, who claimed three wickets on his first outing in Twenty20 International cricket. The batters he removed in that match played for New Zealand, and several of them were well-established names.

His debut came in conditions that strongly favoured batting. More than 220 runs were made in 20 overs on that pitch, and most of the bowlers involved were punished heavily. Against that backdrop, Afridi kept his figures economical while still taking wickets, using a range of variations to deceive the opposing batters and earn his breakthroughs.
That display did not come out of nowhere. Before reaching the international stage, Afridi had put together a strong record in domestic cricket in the shortest format and had earned a reputation as a bowler who takes wickets regularly.
Given his age and the ability he showed on debut, he is seen as a bowler with the potential to succeed at the highest level of the game.
