In 6 matches, he took only 7 wickets, conceding 224 runs in total with an economy rate over 10. After the match against Jaffna Kings, the star pacer left the league unceremoniously. The Pakistan pacer was positioned as one of the mainstays of Kandy Royals because of his calibre and experience in international cricket and across franchise leagues.

A controversial Lankan Premier League season for Shaheen Afridi
Reports from Sri Lanka, when the league was at its initial stage, suggested that the officials of the Kandy Royals assured Shaheen Afridi that he would be included in the playing combination as an 'Impact Player' during a match against Colombo Capitals. But surprisingly, Shaheen found that his name was not on the list of players who were named to take part in the match.
