Afridi joins Ireland

bush doctor

This is great news for Irish cricket. Abdul Razzaq was due to join the squad but pulled out. Should help to draw some big crowds for the C & G matches. Nice one

I heard during the winter that Trinity were trying to get Afridi as their overseas player for the 45 over league. The fact that he will be in Ireland now means that this could be a reality.
