Profile

Shadab Khan is one of Pakistan's premier all-rounders, renowned for his dynamic leg-spin bowling, explosive lower-order batting, and exceptional fielding. Born on 4 October 1998 in Mianwali, Punjab, Shadab rose rapidly through Pakistan's domestic cricket structure before making an immediate impact on the international stage in 2017. His ability to contribute in all three departments of the game has made him one of the most valuable white-ball cricketers in world cricket.

Shadab first came into the spotlight through impressive performances in domestic cricket and the Pakistan Super League, where his variations, control, and composure under pressure attracted national selectors. He made his T20 International debut against the West Indies in March 2017, taking three wickets and earning the Player of the Match award. Just weeks later, he made his ODI debut against the same opposition before receiving his maiden Test cap against the West Indies in Barbados.

One of the defining moments of his career came later that year when he played an important role in Pakistan's historic triumph at the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy. His economical bowling and crucial wickets throughout the tournament helped Pakistan lift their first Champions Trophy title, including the memorable final victory over India at The Oval.

Since then, Shadab has become an integral member of Pakistan's leadership group. He has captained Pakistan in T20 Internationals on multiple occasions and has frequently served as vice-captain across white-ball formats. Renowned for his calm temperament, tactical awareness, and leadership qualities, he has consistently stepped up whenever entrusted with additional responsibility.

Beyond international cricket, Shadab has established himself as one of the world's leading franchise all-rounders. He has represented Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League since its early seasons and has also featured in global competitions including The Hundred, Big Bash League, Caribbean Premier League, Vitality Blast, Lanka Premier League, and other premier T20 tournaments. His experience across different conditions has further enhanced his reputation as one of the game's most complete T20 cricketers.

As a CA Sports Brand Ambassador, Shadab Khan represents passion, resilience, and excellence. His all-round abilities, fearless attitude, and relentless pursuit of success perfectly align with CA Sports' commitment to producing high-performance cricket equipment trusted by international athletes around the world.
