Career

In limited-overs domestic cricket Ahmed Shehzad plays for
GRW CRICKET and in June 2011 during the Faysal Bank T20
Super Eights Shehzad top scored with 220 runs off 147
balls posting a mammoth total of 218[citation needed]
against the opposition GRW CRICKET who in turn were bowled
out for 173. Shehzad took two catches and a wicket as well;
he was rewarded Man-of-the-Match for his superb performance.
Against Australia, in his debut match, he scored one boundary
before he was ran-out. The following match he scored 40 in an
innings that included 4 fours. The third match he scored 43 but
this time just scored 2 fours and in the final match of the
series he scored 19 with 1 boundary to his name before he was
given out leg-before.These consistent performances meant that
Shehzad made his Twenty20 debut against Australia scoring a
single boundary before being caught in the deep. Despite a failure
in the Twenty20 Shehzad was selected for the Pakistan squad in the
2009 ICC World Twenty20 and he only played one game which was the
opening game against England, being caught by Paul Collingwood.
Thereafter, Pakistan changed their opening combination removing
Shehzad and his partner Salman Butt and replacing them with
Shahzaib Hasan and Kamran Akmal.After spending most of the sidelines
on the fringes of national selection Shehzad played in the
three-match Twenty20 series against New Zealand scoring 14
runs of just 7 balls in an innings that included 2 fours and
1 six. Shehzad showcased his ability to time the ball and to
score runs at a quick pace therefore in the following match he
started to feel comfortable on New Zealand wickets scoring a
watchful 15 of 14 balls in an innings that included 1 four, this
time he showcased his ability to remain calm in a situation while
the middle order was collapsing around him. After batting at number
3 for these two matches Shehzad replaced Shahid Afridi as opener and
scored his maiden Twenty20 half-century scoring 54 of just 34 balls
in an innings that included 10 fours. After performing well in the
three Twenty20's the Pakistan selectors selected Shehzad for the
six-match ODI series against New Zealand with a potential place as
a World Cup opener also available. After scoring 115 an ODI
against New Zealand during the series, Shehzad was given a place
in the Pakistan world cup squad.
In his 15 T20Is Shehzad struck six sixes en route to the highest
score by a Pakistani batsman 98* in the Twenty20 format, but missed
an opportunity to reach three figures when he could only manage a
single from the final ball of the innings.
The Barisal Burners bought Shehzad for $50,000 to pay in the
2012 Bangladesh Premier League. With 486 runs from 12 matches,
Shehzad was the tournament's leading run-scorer.
