“In Shaheen, we’ve got a world-class player – which is really exciting – and a player with a difference with the ball, which is important when we’re looking to recruit,” Moores said.
The 22-year-old Afridi recently captained Lahore Qalandars to their second consecutive PSL title.
He had previous spells in county cricket with Middlesex and Hampshire, and was signed by Welsh Fire last week to appear in the Hundred.
