In his autobiography named ‘Game Changer’ Afridi stated, “I was just nineteen, and not sixteen like they claim. I was born in 1975. So yes, the authorities stated my age incorrectly.”
With liting up many controversies from his autobiography Afridi slammed bowling great Waqar Younis when he was team coach in the 2016 world T20 held in India.
He stated, “Unfortunately, he hadn't let go of the past. Waqar and I had history, dating all the way back to his tiff with Wasim over over the captaincy crown. He was a mediocre captain but a terrible coach, always micro-managing and getting in the way, trying to tell the captain – me – what to do. It was a natural clash and it was bound to happen.”
