38-year-old Asif Afridi becomes third-oldest debutant for Pakistan after being handed Test cap vs South Africa
Pakistan continued the tradition of featuring spinners on the wrong side of the 30s to utilise their home conditions to the fullest as the hosts handed a debut to the left-arm spinner Asif Afridi. Afridi, who has played 57 first-class games and 60 List-A matches in domestic cricket, made his debut at 38 years and 299 days, becoming the third-oldest player to be handed his cap for Pakistan in the longest format as Shan Masood and Co made one change to their XI for the second game against Pakistan in Rawalpindi.
