One tough game and his fitness goes...

Update on Khurram Shahzad by PCB

Melbourne, 20 December 2023:

Fast Bowler Khurram Shahzad complained of discomfort in his left side during the First Test.

Following his complaint, after the Test Match Khurram was sent for an MRI scan.

Further details will be shared in due course, after medical panel assess the MRI reports.
 
Are these bowlers made off glass or something.
Fitness issues and injuries plague our players
 
This is not good news for the Pakistan team. He didn't bowl much in the first test but whatever he has bowled, he bowled well for a debutant. First, it was Abrar, and now Khurram.

Feels as thought almost everyone in the squad is not fit to play Test Cricket.

But this guy was picked BECAUSE he had been playing red-ball cricket.

One wonders what sort of red-ball cricket have they been playing or were they carrying injuries before the tour?

Maybe about time PCB looks into the medical and physio team that's been with the team for many a years now

There is a video doing the rounds where Junaid Khan said that this guy's action has issues and it will lead his pace to decrease if even slightly overworked, or worse still get him injured.
We saw the pace drop in the second day and innings and now this!
 
Can’t believe they made him continue bowling if he had an injury instead of getting it checked out right then during the test match. Now he’s going for an mri several days later?

We learnt nothing from the naseem shah debacle.

Hope the injury is minor and he fully recovers quickly. Can be an asset for Pakistan test cricket for years to come.
 
I feel like we should carry 22-man squads every time we tour Australia. Every player always seems on the verge of being injured.

Before Khurram's debut, I mentioned that the last bit of movement he makes to the left after his jump will be detrimental for him long-term.

Despite it being a beautiful action, the uneven energy transfer puts too much stress on his body. In comparison, Steyn's energy transfer (using a similar action) was always moving forward. This allowed him to maintain his speed and consistency.
 
Khurram has just played 1 international game and his body could not survive that pressure. That is a joke of fitness if you cannot handle such pressure. He was playing red-ball games in Pakistan. I wonder why he didn't get injured there?
 
He's a massive age fudger. No chance of him having a long career like @Mamoon said.

According to his PCB profile , he played his first inter district U-19 match in 2012 at the official age of "12" against a team which had officially 18 year old Hasan Ali.

This guy is around the same age as Hasan Ali. Which means he is close to 30.

PCB to invest in someone who is a lot younger (verified age)
 
I actually really liked the way he was bowling, especially with the new ball, but he broke down on debut. Bad sign.
 
His debut match became his last match of the tour. How unfortunate for him. He might have done well than other bowlers on this tour but the fitness these players possess is very bad.
 
Easily 30plus.

Fitness levels poor although an honest tryer.

Pushed himself hard in Perth but his body couldn't take it.
 
Considering his body language, I'm not contemplating him for a long racehorse. He lacks pace, literally bowling at 130 kph. This is not what modern day cricket demands.
 
Khurram Shahzad's bowling action is very much similar to Dale Steyn, he just needs to pick up some pace.
 
Khurram Shahzad has commenced rehabilitation under the supervision of the medical panel at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore.

[VIDEOS] PCB fitness updates on key players including Ihsanullah, Mohammad Hasnain and Naseem Shah

The thing is putting players into matches when their body hasn't properly healed and conditioned hurts their body in the long run. BCCI have financially taken care of Bhumra and Risabh Pant, this has given the players peace of mind and allowed them to focus 100% on resting, rehab and only...

Khurram Shahzad will be part of Pakistan playing XI against Bangladesh in the 1st Test starting from Wednesday. Will he be able to replicate the red hot form of Australia's tour too here?
 
Khurram Shahzad double strikes help Pakistan jolt South Africa top order in the first Test against South Africa. His victims so far Rickelton and De Zorzi.
 
Agreed good new ball bowler. Once ball loses it shine he becomes less lethal

He is good with new ball yes, but I think he should fine with the old ball as well as he might be able to get some reverse going on soon. He is accurate, that is another good thing about him.
 
Khurram Shahzad (3/75) in 20 overs made efforts with the ball to restrict the hosts from extending their lead further on Day 2 of the First Test against South Africa.

First wicket for Khurram Shahzad in the second innings of first Test against South Africa – a successful review by Pakistan, and Ryan Rickelton departs for a duck.

Khurram Shahzad showing why is a top performer in FC in Pak. Other ones are Mir Hamza and Mohammad Ali, but both not playing!!

Domestic performers ko izzat do! Don't glorify the T20 specialists.
 
Khurram should be our test specialist going forward specially in Sena tests. He has fitness issues so should stick to tests
 
I am not sure why he is just moving it away vs Australia I remember he troubled Steve Smith a lot with his incutter a one that comes in should have been bowled to Markram may have resulted in one more wicket
 
He has an excellent seam, he needs to attack the off stump by being fuller. Doesn't have to do it every ball but just a missed a trick late on today against Markram
 
He needs support that's for sure , shame mercenary landed in Dhaka rather than representing his country :shan
 
If you look at the angle he created while bowling. It's similar to Bumrah to a right handed in that the angle is coming in but when the ball works off the seam or swing. It goes away and when it doesn't it nips back in. That's very difficult for a right handed batter to handle.

If Khurram stays fit. He's going to have a very successful Test career.

I believe and hope that tomorrow he's going to deliver one magic spell again to help Pakistan win a memorable Test match in South Africa.

Should ve had mohd Ali here for sure.

They only gave him a couple games on dead highways which isn't fair.
 
I think Mohammed Ali would have been a good choice on this wicket.PCB can’t get anything right.It ruined Ahsanullah and Zeeshan Zamia’s careers.It doesn’t want to change the departmental system.I would say 20-12 regional teams will raise the standard of cricket.Having dozens of mediocre teams is not going to produce international level players.The recent one day T20 championship was a joke.
 
Am I the only one who thought he was underwhelming this game bowled a predictable line and length with only away swing and that made him to easy to line up as can be seen with his 4.7 RPO in the second innings

He was good in 1st innings and okish in 2nd innings.

Him and Naseem both should've supported Abbas better in 2nd innings but I also think things were happening from Abbas end only and kept bowling same end.
 
The lad lost his nerve. He has an excellent seam and needed to attack the off stump. He was too short with his length for his pace and height. He will learn from his loss of nerve.
 
Catch dropped by Abdullah in the last over but came back and got the same batter Aiden Markram out in the very next over.

He has been brilliant so far in the 2nd test
 
In the 2nd Test against South Africa, Khurram Shahzad touched 140 kph, but I think it's a rare sight.

Khurram Shahzad as night watchman has done his job pretty well at least more than I expected from him scoring 18(47) on Day 4 of the second Test against South Africa.
