Shadab Khan Biography

Even in these troubled times, Pakistan have never been short on bowling resources. While their talent pool has mostly produced talented fast bowlers, they have also given cricket Saeed Ajmal and Yasir Shah. Shadab Khan, the wonder boy from obscure Mianwali, is the latest addition to the list.

Both his leg-breaks and googlies are potent, but what sets him apart from other leg-spinners is his nagging accuracy. While he does not hesitate to toss them up, Shadab hates giving away runs — an excellent trait or a boy so young.

Shadab rose through age-group cricket. He first grabbed attention with 4 for 35 against Australia Under-19s in 2015-16, but it was really his performance for Islamabad United in PSL 2017 that established him. His 9 wickets came at 19.11, and he was included in the limited-overs squads for the West Indies tour that summer.

He started his international career in sensational fashion, being named Man of the Match in his first 2 matches: he took 3 for 7 and 4 for 14. He finished the series with 10 wickets at 7.50 (and an economy of 4.73) and was named Man of the Series as well. He took another 5 wickets in the ODIs, at 29.80.

So impressive were his performances that he was added to the squad for the Test series that followed. He made his debut in the second Test of the series, at Bridgetown.
