Meanwhile, both Shahid Afridi and Shaheen Shah Afridi were recently seen in action during the sixth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2021). While the all-rounder had represented Karachi Kings, the left-arm fast bowler was a part of Lahore Qalandars. Notably, on March 4, PSL 2021 was postponed indefinitely with immediate effect after three more players had tested positive for COVID-19, thus bringing the tally of COVID-19 positive cases in the PSL's bio-bubble to seven, out of which six were players.

The first case was reported by the PCB on March 1 when Australian leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed tested positive for the virus before Match 12 of the season. At the time of postponement, only 14 games were completed in the PSL 2021. The postponement of PSL 2021 had angered several former Pakistan cricketers like Shoaib Akhtar, Shahid Afridi and Inzamam-ul-Haq among others who asked for an investigation to be held into the matter.

After PSL 2021 was postponed, Shahid Afridi took to Twitter and expressed his disagreement at PCB's decision to postpone PSL. According to Afridi, despite the COVID-19 situation in Pakistan, the PSL 2021 could have been completed with just local players, thus belittling the presence of foreign players in the league.
