“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.

“Notts plays an aggressive brand of cricket, which suits me well,” Afridi said.

“They have had great success in recent years and the likes of Alex Hales, Colin Munro and Joe Clarke are players I have faced and been impressed with in recent years.

“The aim is obviously to influence the game to make the team as successful as possible. Having played at Trent Bridge, I know it is a fast-scoring ground.
