Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi on Monday was named as ICC’s Men Cricketer of the Year.
Shaheen took 78 wickets in 36 internationals at an average of 22.20 with best bowling figures of 6/51.
The tall Pakistani quick was on fire throughout 2021, knocking some of the best batters over across all three formats of the game.
