Pakistan cricketers, including captain Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Imam-ul-Haq attended Shahid Afridi's daughter wedding on Saturday in Karachi. Afridi took to his official Twitter handle and posted a heartwarming caption for his daughter on account of her marriage. The former Pakistan captain's first daughter got married to Shaheen Shah Afridi in February earlier this year.
Shahid Afridi was visibly emotional during his daughter's wedding and sought the almighty's blessings for his daughter and her husband. He wrote by sharing some stunning pictures from the ceremony:
"Meri pyari beti- it seems like yesterday when I cradled you in my arms - and on that day, I promised myself I would never leave your side. Although you’re about to begin a new chapter in your life, you’ll always have my heart because I’m the man who loved you first. May Allah keep you both under His Divine protection and give you the chance to create a beautiful life together. Ameen."
