Shahbaz Nadeem has been plying his trade in domestic cricket for the last 15 years. Playing for Jharkhand, the left-arm orthodox has snared 394 wickets in 104 first class matches.

It was Harbhajan Singh earlier, and Ashwin and Jadeja now, who have blocked Nadeem's path to the national team.

Nadeem relies on flight and change of pace and is eerily accurate. Recently, he has added a chinaman delivery (one that goes away from the left-hander) to his bowling arsenal.

A consistent performer for India A, Nadeem has been knocking on the door for quite some time now. Last year, during the India A tour of England, Nadeem put up several good performances. In three first class matches against West Indies A and England Lions, he picked up 12 wickets.

If Nadeem can keep up his good work, he can enjoy a late surge in his career.
