Pakistan opener Ahmed Shehzad continues to be on sidelines as far as his selection in the national squad is concerned. The opening batter last featured for his national side in October 2019 in a T20 game vs Sri Lanka at Lahore’s Gaddafi stadium but bad form and poor show with bat as well as Pakistan looking to build a young and new side has led to selectors closing doors on him.
But despite being off the pitch as far as international cricket is concerned, Ahmed Shehzad managed to find himself in headlines in Pakistan when during a TV interview, he was asked which actor he would prefer to play him if a biopic is made on his life. Shehzad’s answer even made the interview host laugh as he took the name of Hollywood star Brad Pitt.
Shehzad opted out of PSL 2024
Ahmed Shehzad has retired from the PSL in a blaze of fury, blaming a “deliberate effort” by all six franchises to keep him out of the competition. The right-handed batter had a decent National T20 Cup, with 344 runs at 133.33, but could find no takers at the PSL draft held last year. As a result, the senior-batter decided to take retirement from the Pakistan Super League.
