Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi named a few cricketers who he liked watching play. He picked four retired cricketers who fascinated him and two of them are from Pakistan.

In a recent interaction with Khelo Aazadi Se Show on BSports Pakistan YouTube Channel, Afridi said Inzamam-Ul-Haq and Saeed Anwar made him sit in front of the TV. He was fortunate to share the dressing room with Inzamam and Anwar in his playing days and said it was dream come true.

"If we talk about my initial years, Inzamam Ul Haq and Saeed Anwar used to fascinate me. To follow their game, the heart wanted to sit in front of the TV and watch them. I fulfilled my dream when I started playing with them. 

"If you talk about players from other countries, there was Brian Lara and Glenn McGrath," he said.

Afridi also picked cricketers from the current generation and named India captain Virat Kohli among the players who are exciting to watch. He also included AB de Villiers, Babar Azam, and Fakhar Zaman in the list.

"When it comes to the current generation, I would say AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli, Babar Azam… he is outstanding. Fakhar Zaman when in form. He is one player who if gives a start, Pakistan have won matches one-sided. But for that, his consistency is important," the former Pakistan captain added.
