Shahid Afridi’s real age has been revealed.
The Pakistani cricketer has written in his new autobiography Game Changer that he was born in 1975.
It was widely believed that the swashbuckling all-rounder was born in 1980, making him five years younger than he really is.

The day and month of his birth is still unknown.
