Ahmed Shehzad

Ahmed Shehzad is a Pakistani opening batsman who represented his country across all three formats of international cricket. Born in Lahore, he made his international debut in 2009 and quickly established himself as a promising talent in Pakistan's batting lineup. Shehzad was particularly effective in Test cricket, where he averaged over 40 runs per match across 13 appearances, demonstrating his ability to build substantial innings at the highest level. Known for his aggressive stroke play and ability to provide quick starts at the top of the order, Shehzad played 80 ODIs for Pakistan, accumulating over 2,500 runs with a respectable average of 32.34. He also featured in 58 T20 internationals, contributing 1,436 runs to Pakistan's cause in the shortest format. While primarily a batsman, he occasionally rolled his arm over in ODI cricket, claiming 2 wickets. His career was marked by both promise and inconsistency, typical of many talented Pakistani batsmen, but his contributions helped Pakistan in numerous bilateral series and major tournaments during his active international period.
