Afridi, who retired from international cricket in 2018, is currently active in various T20 leagues around the world and has also played in T10 leagues in the middle east as well. Afridi has also authored his autobiography titled ‘Game Changer’, which he revealed many secrets of the Pakistani dressing room and also talked about the controversy about his age.

He will be seen playing in the Pakistan Super League 2020 season which will be, for the first time ever, played in its entirety in Pakistan itself. He will be plying his trade for Multan Sultans, who will be led by Shan Masood. He had revealed Masood as the captain of the side in Twitter before even the owners had a chance to do it themselves, a few days back.
