Ahmed Shehzad is one of the most attractive cricketers around
An aggressive right handed batsman, Shehzad is a darling among Pakistani girls due to his attractive looks; he is arguably the best looking Pakistani cricketer after Shahid Afridi. An immensely talented batsman, Shehzad hasn’t really realized his potential in international cricket and could be a much better cricketer than his records suggest, especially in ODIs.
After a successful U-19 World Cup campaign in 2008, Shehzad made it to the Pakistan Test squad for the infamous home series against Sri Lanka in 2008-09. He made his ODI debut in April 2009 against Australia. The cricketer provided a brisk start to Pakistan on quite a few occasions but wasn’t able to replicate his heroics on a consistent basis, which led to his ousting from the team.
Unless he performs exceptionally well in the domestic circuit, he doesn’t seem to be in the future scheme of things for Pakistan, especially in Test cricket.

About the author
Arya Sekhar Chakraborty
Arya is a cricket journalist with around 8 years of experience who writes informative listicles and is in charge of text commentary at Sportskeeda. He is a graduate in Journalism, Psychology, and English, and has previously worked for websites such as CricTracker, SportzWiki, Cricket Addictor, Cricfit, OneCricket, and Cricket Exchange. His vast experience has led him to know the pulse of his readers and he cross-checks information from a number of credible sources before writing a single word for their sake.
A former Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) U14 and U16 player, Arya's tryst with cricket began after watching Sachin Tendulkar in action during his childhood. He is an ardent fan of Mumbai Indians (MI) owing to Tendulkar's initial involvement and also bleeds blue for his national team. He is an admirer of Test cricket as he feels the red-ball format teaches one about every facet of life.
Arya, who feels ODIs should not be completely replaced with T20Is owing to the former's pacing and charm, would like to go back in time to 1998 and watch the Master Blaster in action. He has experience in interviewing a few Bengali cricketers such as Kazi Junaid Saifi, Shib Shankar Pal, Sayan Ghosh and Prayas Ray Barman. He has also translated a couple of Bengali cricket books, and made Indian Premier League (IPL) pre-match videos.
He likes to spend time with his family and binge on web series during his spare time.
