@Hamza Ali Shah: Good work! However, I cant seem to verify your hook. Could you either explain the source to me or provide a different one. Thanks. Onegreatjoke (talk) 01:47, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Onegreatjoke: Thanks for your reply! In the source it states "he had not batted in his only previous international" which verifies that this was his first international innings and it also states: "and dashed to a hundred in 37 balls, 11 fewer than the limited-overs international record" which verifies that Afridi broke the record for ODI cricket. If you do require another source, this is an alternative. Hope this helps! Hamza Ali Shah Talk 12:30, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
@Hamza Ali Shah: Alright then, approving nomination. Onegreatjoke (talk) 14:42, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
@Hamza Ali Shah: The photo used here isn't bad per-se, but for an athlete, wouldn't a photo of them playing their sport, or at least dressed in an appropriate uniform, be better? -- RoySmith (talk) 18:44, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @RoySmith: This could be used as an alternative if you want an image of him playing cricket. Hamza Ali Shah Talk 19:31, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

- Yeah, I think that would work better. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:35, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: I hope I didn't confuse things by adding a new image. Is the hook still approved with the replacement image? -- RoySmith (talk) 13:36, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
- It's fine. Onegreatjoke (talk) 15:26, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
