Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Arafat first burst into the international scene in February 2000 with the ODI squad against Sri Lanka. He was tried for a little while but couldn’t deliver quality goods and was soon out of the side. He could never establish himself since then and was often called up as an injury cover in the side and he managed only 4 wickets in 11 games throughout his career.
In 2004, Arafat took five wickets in six balls against Faisalabad for Rawalpindi in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. He became the fourth player to achieve this rare feat in the history of first-class cricket across the globe, next only to Bill Copson (1937), William Henderson (1938), and Pat Pocock (1972).
Yasir Arafat spent his time wisely when he wasn’t playing for the country. He flew to Scotland as replacement for Rahul Dravid and played for them in their domestic structure in 2004 and 2005. It was then that he was signed in 2006 by Sussex and spent a sizeable time with Kent from 2007 to 2008. Arafat was back with Sussex in 2009. He jumped to Surrey CCC in 2011, represented Lancashire in 2012 and then played for Somerset the next year.
The right-handed all-rounder made his T20I debut against Bangladesh and has played a few games, including the World T20 in Sri Lanka in 2012. However, he has not played for Pakistan again.
He became a bit of T20 specialist soon after and started travelling to places to play tournaments. He has played in the Bangladesh Premier League for Barisal Burners in 2012 and has also represented Perth Scorchers in the 2013/14 Big Bash League. With 12 wickets at 14.75 in the tournament, Yasir was pivotal in Perth's victorious triumph. The club showed the faith in the veteran and retained him next year. A hard working cricketer, he evolved as a tremendous death-overs expert and emerged as one of the hot-buys for teams across various T20 leagues.
A few months later, Yasir migrated to Kent to pursue his county career. In September 2014, he penned a deal with Hampshire and was qualified to represent the club as a non-overseas player because he was married to an Englishwoman.
Having been left out of the inaugural edition of PSL, the all-rounder signed for Sagittarius strikers in the MCL in 2016 where he was one of the youngest players to feature in the tournament. His tryst with switching clubs in UK continued when he re-signed a contract with Somerset on loan. In 2017, Yasir was picked up by Chittagong Vikings in the Bangladesh Premier League draft.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Yasir Arafat is an all-rounder of typically Pakistani ethos: ideal for the attacking mood of the limited-overs formats and was also capable enough to win three Test caps. When his international career came to an end in 2009, somewhat prematurely with his 30th birthday still distant, he proved himself a staple of the English county circuit, sharing his talent around six counties by the time Hampshire signed him for their T20 campaign in 2015.
He was on the fringes of the Pakistan squad for a number of years though given the allrounders ahead of him - Abdul Razzaq, Shahid Afridi and even Shoaib Malik - limited his chances. He could generate pace and swing and was always liable to turn a game even as his career entered the veteran stage. He was also a dangerous lower-order plunderer, good enough to strike five first-class hundreds as well as one in List A cricket.
His type of straight, full, skiddy bowling courtesy a slingy action accounted for Andrew Flintoff's wicket at an ODI in Karachi in December 2005. It has also helped him to nine wickets against England in a warm-up game earlier during the same series . In that year he also took five wickets in six balls for Rawalpindi against the national champions Faisalabad in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. This had only been achieved three times previously in first-class cricket, by Bill Copson in 1937, William Henderson in 1938, and Pat Pocock in 1972. Arafat was the only bowler to take the wickets spread over two innings.
Yasir's first experience of cricket in the UK was for Scotland before he was recruited by Sussex in the 2006 Championship season. In his first three games, he took 17 wickets with two five-wicket hauls as well as scoring a couple of fifties. An impressive start to the 2007 county season with Kent, where he starred with ball as well the bat, saw Arafat being awarded a central contract for the first time. With injuries to Mohammad Asif and Umar Gul, Arafat was called up as replacement and made his Test debut against India at Bangalore in December 2007.
But it was county cricket where he was in most demand. Sussex, Surrey, Lancashire, Somerset and Hampshire also came calling when they needed some bowling enterprise in one-day cricket. Perth Scorchers also came calling in 2013.
