Mohammad Shahzad - Afghanistan's wicket-keeper batsman!

[Indiana Jones]

If he claims to be a MSD fan, he shouldn't behave like that.

As far as cricinfo shows. He does not seem Pashtun though

 

[WebGuru]

Cricinfo says he was born in Nangarhar, Afghanistan 1988 while cricketarchive says he was born in Peshawar, Pakistan 1991. Looks like his info is messed

He looks Indian

 

[Gabbar Singh]

He's a lovely striker of the ball. However he looks about 2 stone overweight - hopefully Inzi will sort that out and put him on a tough fitness regime.

I lost 19 Kgs before 2003 World Cup, and my score also was 19. Afterwards, I dropped the idea of losing weight, I could not afford low scores.

[TalentSpotterPk]

He is more paitoo than Sarfraz but his running, energy, agility & stamena is much better than Sarfraz.

Very talented limited overs batsman.

# Quality cricketer.

The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) has banned their wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Shahzad for an ODI and also fined him 50 percent of match fee for breaching code of conduct.

Shahazad, was found guilty of public disrespect of on-field umpires during the final of a domestic one-day competition following which the punishment was announced.

As per the official website of the ACB, Shahzad criticised the decisions of the on-field umpires during a post match presentation cemromeny after his team Speenghar’s defeat to Bost in the final of Ghazi Amanullah Khan Regional One-Day Tournament on Friday.

“Shahzad was found guilty for public disrespect of on-field umpires following Speenghar’s loss against Bost in the Final of Ghazi Amanullah Khan Regional One-Day Tournament. Speaking in the post-match presentation ceremony which was broadcasted live, Shahzad criticized on-field umpires for their decisions in the Final of the recently concluded List A tournament,” ACB said on its official website.

Afghanistan are due to tour Ireland in August for three-T20I and three-ODI series. The ban means Shahzad will miss the ODI series opener scheduled for August 27. Shahzad will have to forego 50 percent of his match fee when he next plays for Afghanistan at international level which happens to be the first T20I vs Ireland on August 20.

The 30-year-old big-hitting batsman had in December 2017 received a retrospective ban of one year after being found guilty of doping violation. He breached ICC Anti-Doping Code as he inadvertently ingested prohibited substance Clenbuterol “as a contaminant of a weight-loss product he was taking, Hydroxycut.”

Shahzad has so far represented Afghanistan in 69 ODIs, scoring 2239 runs with four centuries and 11 half-centuries and has 76 dismissals to his name (54 catches and 22 stumpings). In 63 T20Is, he has hit 1906 runs including a century and 12 fifties and has 54 dismissals (26 catches, 28 stumpings). He was also part of Afghanistan’s playing XI when they made their Test debut against India in June – a match they lost inside two days.

Typical Afghan players who publicly say other cricketers are inferior to them but they end up failing miserably when they talk too much. Kohli will forever be greater than any cricketer produced in Afghanistan. I wouldn't be surprised to hear major controversies from Afghanistan as soon as they regularly play against top sides.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Well batted Mohammad Shahzad.

 

[mayankp.sverige]

He is better keeper and batsman than Sarfaraz Ahmed
