Shadab Khan — All Rounder | Cricket Player Profile, Stats & Records

Shadab Khan born in 1998 in Mianwali has already created ripples with his leg-breaks, and more than ripples with his wrong'uns at the Under-19 level. Hailing from the land of stalwarts like Imran Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq, Shadab moved to Rawalpindi at the age of 12 and started picking up the nuances of the sport whilst playing for his school team. He further accelerated his growth and whilst training at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore, and gathered some valuable wisdom from former greats like Abdul Qadir and Mushtaq Ahmed.

Shadab was rising through the ranks and polishing himself up alarmingly fast, and looked all set to be a stereotypical precocious talent from Pakistan. He was promptly selected for the Under-19 World Cup in 2016 and he rewarded the faith of the selectors by topping the wicket charts in the tournament, picking up 11 wickets from 6 games at a commendable average of 19.
