==Background and Personal life== |
|||
The emerging star of Pakistani cricket team “Ahmed Shehzad” was born on 23rd of November 1991 in the city of Lahore. He belongs to the Pakhtoon tribe “Afridi” (very few people know about this fact) when he was only eight months or so his father passed away.<ref>http://www.pakistantv.tv/2014/03/31/orphaned-childhood-ahmed-shehzad-succeed-mom/</ref><ref>http://www.siasatpedia.com/2014/03/31/orphaned-in-childhood-ahmed-shehzad-succeed-because-of-his-mom/</ref> . |
|||
And his family saw difficult times, but due to the struggle and hard working of his mother he and his siblings got the quality education and learned the norms of the society. Unlike so many Pakistani cricketers he has come from an educated background and that thing reflects from his behavior. |
|||
According to his family sources, Ahmad is still single, and he has not been engaged with anyone. After his popularity as an aggressive cricketer, the local media gives him special courage to his personal life but they have not yet found out any scandal till now.<ref>http://celebhour.com/ahmed-shehzad-biography-poverty-to-luxurious-life/</ref> |
|||
==Domestic Career== |
|||
In limited-overs domestic cricket Ahmed Shehzad plays for Lahore Lions and in June 2011 during the Faysal Bank T-20 Super Eights Shehzad top scored the innings by scoring 74 of 47 balls imposing a mammoth total of 218 against the opposition Sialkot Stallions who in turn were bowled out for 173 Shehzad took two-catches and a wicket as well he was rewarded man-of the match for his superb performances.<ref>http://pak101.com/c/celebrities/bio/167/Cricketers/Ahmed_Shehzad</ref> |
|||
==International Career== |
|||
A naturally-aggressive batsman hailing from Lahore, Ahmed Shehzad has established himself as an opening batsman. He made his first class debut in 2007. The innings which led to a call-up for the national team was a 167 he scored in Pakistan Youth’s victory against England, where he was instrumental as Pakistan chased down 342.<ref>http://player.cricket.com.pk/ahmed-shehzad/</ref> |
|||
⚫ | '''He is the only Pakistani batsman to have scored centuries in all international formats of the game i.e. Test, ODI and T20I'''. |
||
The right-handed batsman, 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 a whirlwind 92 of just 49 balls for the Lahore Eagles in domestic game gave further proof of his talent. Following a successful 2008 Under-19 World Cup campaign, he made it to Pakistan's Test squad for the 2009 home series against Sri Lanka. |
|||
==Test career== |
|||
⚫ | Ahmad Shahzad was shortlisted for the Pakistan A match against South Africa in the UAE in October 2013. He scored a fifty in the game and was selected for one of the 3 remaining slots in the Test squad alongside Shan Masood and Asad Shafiq. He was, however, not selected in the playing XI in either of the 2 Tests against South Africa. |
||
===2009=== |
|||
Shahzad again selected for the three Tests against Sri Lanka, also in the UAE, starting on 31 December 2013, and stretching to January 2014. This was based on good showing in the limited overs leg of the tour. He debuted in the first Test, and was presented his first Test cap by Younis Khan. He scored 38 in the first innings and 55 in the second.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/657647.html | title=Debut Match score card | accessdate=5 January 2014}}</ref> The match was drawn. |
|||
Shehzad made his debut for Pakistan in a one-day international against Australia on 29 April 2009. In his maiden match he scored one boundary before he was run-out. The following match he scored 40 in an innings that included 4 fours. The third match he scored 43 but this time just scored 2 fours and in the final match of the series he scored 19 with 1 boundary to his name before he was given out leg-before. |
|||
These consistent performances meant that Shehzad made his Twenty20 debut against Australia scoring a single boundary before being caught in the deep. Despite a failure in the Twenty20 Shehzad was selected for the Pakistan squad in the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 he only played one-game which was the opening game against England being caught by Paul Collingwood Pakistan changed their combination removing Shehzad and his partner Salman Butt and replaced them with Shahzaib Hasan and Kamran Akmal. |
|||
===2010=== |
|||
However he was recalled to the side in late 2010 for a tour to New Zealand. He sparkled with good performances in T20Is and ODIs too. He scored his maiden T20I fifty at Christchurch and then went on to score his maiden ODI ton at Hamilton which sealed his place in the World Cup 2011 squad. Shehzad featured in five games that Pakistan played in the World Cup but couldn't cross even 15 in any of them. |

The good show earned him a place in the squad for the World Cup 2011, but Shehzad failed to impress. He managed to retain his spot for the West Indies tour that followed, and even made his second ODI century there, but was left out of the squad for the tour of Zimbabwe. |

He was dropped from the Pakistan squad in 2011 and made his comeback more than two years later in 2013. A fruitful period soon followed as he grew in confidence and stature and a pile of handy scores stood out to prove his matured second-coming. The South African tour proved to be a watershed moment in his career. A brilliant century in Port Elizabeth helped Pakistan become the first Asian team to win a bi-lateral ODI series in South Africa. A decent ODI series against the Proteas in the UAE and South Africa and then against Sri Lanka in the UAE paved the way for for a much awaited Test debut against Sri Lanka.This was based on good showing in the limited overs leg of the tour.

He belongs to the Pakhtoon tribe “Afridi” (very few people know about this fact) when he was only eight months or so his father passed away.[1][2] . And his family saw difficult times, but due to the struggle and hard working of his mother he and his siblings got the quality education and learned the norms of the society. Unlike so many Pakistani cricketers he has come from an educated background and that thing reflects from his behavior.
According to his family sources, Ahmad is still single, and he has not been engaged with anyone. After his popularity as an aggressive cricketer, the local media gives him special courage to his personal life but they have not yet found out any scandal till now.[3]

In limited-overs domestic cricket Ahmed Shehzad plays for Lahore Lions and in June 2011 during the Faysal Bank T-20 Super Eights Shehzad top scored the innings by scoring 74 of 47 balls imposing a mammoth total of 218 against the opposition Sialkot Stallions who in turn were bowled out for 173 Shehzad took two-catches and a wicket as well he was rewarded man-of the match for his superb performances.[4]
International Career
A naturally-aggressive batsman hailing from Lahore, Ahmed Shehzad has established himself as an opening batsman. He made his first class debut in 2007. The innings which led to a call-up for the national team was a 167 he scored in Pakistan Youth’s victory against England, where he was instrumental as Pakistan chased down 342.[5]
