Wanted to know if anyone knows about this left-arm seamer in domestic cricket currently wreaking havoc in Pak Domestic FC. Has 58 wickets from 10 FC matches at an average of 15.
Has anyone seen him bowl?

------------------------------


Shehzad Gul, a 31-year-old left-arm fast bowler from Sargodha, entered the professional circuit in 2023 at a relatively late stage, yet he has swiftly showcased his talent. His mastery of swinging the ball both into and away from the batter off the same line and length makes him exceptionally challenging to face.

From the clips, he seems like a better bowler than Hamza. Can swing both ways.
However, he was bowling at the shorter length and he was still getting leg befores. Looks like the pitch was very dead.

Agree with this assessment.

Shahzad can bring the ball back which is a great skill.

Anyway, age may not be on his side. He is already 31.

Sometimes cricinfo tends to mistake players' profiles especially new on the domestic circuit. It could be that otherwise yes, 31 is a bit too late to start domestic cricket for a fast bowler.
Khurram Shehzad had mistakenly listed DOB of 1990 or something. There was another one who had his DOB listed in 1980s before they corrected it.
 
Left arm Muhammad ABBAS? This guy can seam the ball both ways on a dead surface with no bounce at all, not sure he’s got the pace but even if he is around 127-133k this is enough to trouble even the best of the best if he can seam (not swing) the ball both ways on a phatta track.
