Summary The book is an autobiography authored by Wajahat Saeed Khan
(Web Desk) – Wajahat Saeed Khan, Chief National Security Correspondent of Dunya News is penning down Pakistan cricket’s one of the many formidable figures, Shahid Afridi’s life in an autobiography that is scheduled to hit the stores coming year.
The publisher, HarperCollins India, a chapter of one of the top five English-language publishers in the world and headquartered in New York City, took to social media to announce acquisition of world rights to Afridi’s autobiography.
Commenting on the publishing announcement, Afridi said: “In all my years of cricket, I’ve given hundreds of interviews and done dozens of TV shows, but what you will read in my memoir are the stories and thoughts I’ve never shared openly. I have a lot to say: about my confidence, my fears, my adversaries, my ambitions, my goals and failures.”
He asserted that he let the author pen a lot that remained under the wraps for years and out of media light.
The book is set to reveal his side over a lot of partnerships, both, those on pitch and those off the field besides the differences he had with the cricket authorities and mates over a career that first got the nation and the world acknowledge his talent over a 37-ball century at the age of 16.
“Shahid Afridi: An Autobiography” will shed light beyond a notable sportsman’s politically correct statements that go along with him all his career.
Wajahat S. Khan dubbed Afridi as the most in-your-face cricketer South Asia has ever produced whilst promising the readers that the sportsman was not an open-and-shut case once layers of his personality are peeled off. Working with one of the most complicated cricketing icons was exciting as well as scary, Khan added.
Khan is an Emmy-nominated multimedia journalist associated with Dunya Media Group and has also been affiliated to several media organisations that go transnational.
