Legendary Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi has hinted that he may consider going into politics in the future.

Afridi was asked if he would become a politician as he is a well-known and respected figure in Pakistan. This is not only because he is one of the best players Pakistan has produced, but also due to the fact that he has done a lot of charitable work through the Shahid Afridi Foundation.

However, while the 40-year-old’s answer was not a straightforward one, it suggested that the notion of him getting involved in politics is not something to rule out.
