Riaz Afridi (Template:Langx; born 21 January 1985) is a Pakistani cricket coach and cricketer. He is the elder brother of Pakistani fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi.
He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.[1] In December 2017, his youngest brother Shaheen Afridi was named in Pakistan's squad for the 2018 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[2]
Afridi has played one Test match, for the Pakistan national cricket team against the Sri Lanka national cricket team. It was the same match which saw Naved-ul-Hasan make his Test debut.[3]
Riaz is a cousin of Pakistani footballer Yasir Afridi. In 2007 Riaz signed a contract with the Indian Cricket League (ICL) and represented the Lahore Badshahs, which put Riaz's future as a Pakistani Test player at risk.
During the summer months Riaz played club cricket in the north east of England for Great Ayton CC, he was a key player as the club won the North Yorkshire and South Durham Cricket League for the first time in its history.[4] The following season he achieved the feat of 100 wickets in a league season.[5]
