Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi claimed that he was unaware of his real age when he appeared for national under-14 trials and it led to all the "mess" and "misunderstanding" on the issue.

Afridi, known for his power-hitting, has revealed that he was actually 19 years old (21, going by his autobiography 'Game Changer') when he produced a 37-ball 100 in Nairobi in 1996-97 and not 16 as has been recorded officially.
