In reality, Shaheen Afridi was recently seen at the Lahore Qalandars training camp, with videos of his visit shared on social media.
Pakistani sportsmen typically do not attend Wimbledon due to their hectic domestic and international cricket commitments.
Recently, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the squad for the upcoming Test series against England and the West Indies.
Mohammad Rizwan is included in the squad for both series, however, Afridi did not make the list.
The 2026 Wimbledon grass-court season runs over two weeks, culminating in the Singles Finals this weekend. The tournament took place from June 29 to July 12 at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in London.
Wimbledon is widely considered the world’s premier tennis tournament and the priority of the club is to maintain its leadership. To that end, a long-term plan was unveiled in 1993, intended to improve the quality of the event for spectators, players, officials and neighbours.
