Islamabad/IBNS: Pakistan's former cricket team captain Shahid Afridi has become father for the fifth time.

Afridi confirmed the news of social media and shared image of his baby girl.

" The Almighty’s infinite blessings & mercy are upon me...already having been granted 4 wonderful daughters I have now been blessed with a 5th, Alhamdulillah. Sharing this good news with my well-wishers... #FourbecomeFive," Shahid tweeted.

His four daughters are named Aqsa, Ansha, Ajwa and Asmara.
