In a surprising turn of events, TikTok sensation Hareem Shah has offered advice to Pakistani fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi, urging him to shift his focus from marital bliss to the impending ICC Mega Event ODI Men's World Cup, set to commence from October 5 in India.
This counsel comes in the wake of Shaheen Shah Afridi's recent wedding to Ansha Afridi, daughter of cricket legend Shahid Afridi.
Hareem Shah, known for her candid remarks and social media presence, took to X (formerly Twitter) to extend her congratulations to the newlyweds, but her message took an unexpected turn.
She penned, "Congratulations! Afridi. Just at the moment keep Ansha away from your mind and focus on the World Cup."
Congratulations!

Lkin filhal Ansha ko mind sy nikal kr sara focus World Cup per rakho.
While the wedding festivities were in full swing, Pakistan's left-arm pacer also shared his gratitude for the well-wishes he received. He posted on X, "Thank you everyone for the warm and lovely wishes. Here is to the beginning of love and laughter with the special one."

It's worth noting that Pakistan's recent performance in the Asia Cup 2023 did not meet expectations, as the team faced defeats against arch-rivals India and Sri Lanka. As the World Cup draws near, the entire nation will be looking to Shaheen Shah Afridi to deliver match-winning performances and help Pakistan reclaim cricketing glory on the global stage.
The cricketing world will be watching closely as Shaheen Shah Afridi navigates the delicate balance between love and cricketing ambition in the run-up to the ICC Mega Event ODI Men's World Cup. Pakistan's hopes for success in the tournament will largely depend on how well the talented pacer can heed Hareem Shah's advice and maintain his focus on the cricket field.
