Ahmed Shehzad Biography
Barely out of teens, Ahmed Shehzad is a captivating young opener who is touted to be one of the brightest gems to emerge from Pakistan cricket.
The right hander who took to the game aged just seven has over the years been a prolific scorer for Pakistan’s Under-19s and Youth sides. Just 16, he made his domestic debut for Habib Bank Limited and the first signs of his enormous talent were evident when with a fine 167, he helped Pakistan Under-19 chase down a stiff target of 342 set by England in a Youth Test. Back home, he went to score 315 runs in a 5-0 mauling of Australia Under-19s in a Youth ODI series and with a whirlwind 92 of just 49 balls for the Lahore Eagles in domestic game giving further proof of his talent. Following a successful 2008 Under-19 World Cup campaign, he made it Pakistan’s Test squad for the 2009 home series against Sri Lanka.
He co-incidentally made his ODI and T20 debut against Australia in 2009 but failure to come up with substantial scores resulting in his axing after playing just four ODIs. However he was recalled back to side in late 2010 for a tour to New Zealand.
Only 19, Shehzad may still prone to the youthful recklessness but with time and experience is bound to be a much more improved cricketer in future.
