So far, Shaheen Shah Afridi has played 30 Test, 52 ODIs and 70 T20Is for Pakistan. In the longest format of the game, the pacer has 115 wickets.

In the first Test match against Pakistan, Bangladesh registered a 10-wicket loss. The centuries from Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel in Rawalpindi went into vain as Bangladesh's Mushfiqur Rahim and Shadman Islam bounced back by slamming 191 and 93 runs, respectively.

With this, Bangladesh made history by securing their first-ever Test victory over Pakistan. This landmark win came after 14 encounters with Pakistan, where the Tigers had suffered 12 defeats and managed just one draw.

Following the victory against Pakistan, the Bengal Tigers are only left to defeat Team India and South Africa in the longest format of the game.
