Ahmad Shehzad biography
source link(google.com)Ahmed Shehzad is a captivating opener who is touted as one of the brightest gems to emerge from Pakistan cricket.
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.
Ahmed co-incidentally made his ODI and T20 debut against Australia in 2009 but failure to come up with substantial scores resulted in his axing after playing just four ODIs. However he was recalled to the side in late 2010 for a tour to New Zealand.
