“It hurts when the connection with Saqlain Mushtaq is repeatedly brought up": Shadab Khan

[The Bald Eagle]

Shadab Khan, in a recent media interaction, expressed great ire regarding the taunts of nepotism:

“It is frustrating and disappointing to hear such things because my career is nearly seven years long. I have given some good performances since debuting for Pakistan. Yes I am learning a lot from Saqlain Mushtaq because of his strong cricket coaching background. But it does not mean he is doing me favours,”

“It hurts when the connection with Saqlain Mushtaq is repeatedly brought up. I have been trying to improve my bowling by working with my father-in-law because I consider myself more beneficial to the team as a bowler than a batter,”

Ahmed Shehzad on Shadab's recent inclusion into PCT:


“You’re talking about Shadab—tell me, what performance has he delivered? Who brought him into the team? Let this series pass first. The PCB has a different plan with Shadab, and he was included in the team for a different purpose,”

 

[The Bald Eagle]

The relationship with Saqlain Mushtaq will always come in question whenever Shadab would make his way mysteriously into the squad

 

[Major]

Bro, your father in law has been talking about you. You married into his family. This will happen.

You are bowling utter crap and dont wana focus on first class and stay away from international cricket. This will come up.

Either improve and fix yourself or deal with it.

To marry into a cricketer family and than claim people are teasing you is very stupid.

 

[Hawkeye]

A mediocre cricketer with poor bowling and batting should never have made it back into the team that too as vc.

Last 22 T20I's

Batting average - 13.xx

Bowling average - 72.xx

Bowling economy ~ 10

Questionable choice for vice captaincy.

And his performances in the domestic T20s were also poor. He is clearly getting favours from the board.

LOL - These players really do not see the reality?
Shadab has pathetic performances and should never have been recalled. Of course he played in NZ due to Saqlain.

Shadab is another Misbah product. Surprise surprise with how he turned out.

He was decent (by Pakistan standards) before Misbah took over from Mickey Arthur.

Just goes to show whatever Misbah touches turns into turd.

Instead of running his mouth on the Media, he should shut the ones who are making comments with his performance.

Why Shadab never tried to play test cricket? How can he improve his bowling by bowling just 4 overs in T20 cricket and now he occasionally plays ODIs? Shadab was once a great prospect but he lost the track completely with too much focus on T20s, a spinner has more role to play in test cricket rather than limited overs games

 

[Muhammad Saad]

He was never accurate enough but used to bowl quicker and got decent turn both ways which resulted in brief success he had but now he just lost his turn and has become even more inaccurate.
He can atleast start bowling quicker for a start.
