Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi is all set to become the first Pakistani to play in South Africa's domestic Twenty20 tournament.
Afridi said that the Nashua Dolphins had approached him to play for them in the country's pro T20 cricket league.
"They will officially announce my signing today. But I am excited at the prospect of being the first Pakistani to play in their domestic T20 league which is of high standards," he said.
Afridi also said that there was a possibility he might play as a professional T20 player for the Western Australia state side in December, if was neglected by the selectors for Pakistan's Test series against Australia.
"It is a good opportunity for me to play in the foreign leagues that will enhance my game before the next T20 World Cup in the West Indies," said Afridi.
