The team’s star batsman Shan Masood is ready to give his life for Pakistan captain Babar Azam. Babar Azam is leading Peshawar Zalmi in the ongoing eighth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and Shan Masood is playing for Multan Sultans.

In a recent interview with a private TV channel, Shan Masood said, “When Sarfaraz Ahmed was our captain; we were ready to give our lives, now we are ready to give our lives for Babar Azam.” Former captain Shahid Afridi and former star cricketer Shoaib Akhtar criticized Pakistan’s recent performance.

Regarding that criticism, Shan Masood said, “We see a lot of news about the criticism of the party, but we don’t get upset because we have only one goal, to bring out our best for Pakistan.â€?/p>

Shan Masood praised Pakistan’s star pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi and said, “If you can survive Shaheen’s first over and hit a six, which means you are playing very well because he is the number one bowler in the world right now.â€?Recently Pakistan’s legendary cricketer Shahid Afridi said that Peshawar Zalmi captain Babar Azam has yet to prove himself as a match-winner.

A post-wedding reception has been arranged at the groom’s house in Karachi on January 27 for close friends and family members. Various wedding ceremonies have been going on for the last week. The 32-year-old Pakistan top-order batsman was born on October 14, 1989, in Kuwait.

So far, Shan Masood has played 27 Tests, five ODIs, and 19 T20Is. Shan Masood was also part of the Pakistan national team for the 2022 T20 World Cup. The Pakistani cricketer has signed a contract with Yorkshire for county cricket in England this year. He has scored more than 2,000 runs in all formats so far.

Top-order butter Shan Masud has been included in the T20 World Cup squad amid a lot of criticism. The left-handed batsman has not yet made his debut in T20.

Shan Masood has played 25 Tests and five ODIs for Pakistan. However, before the World Cup, he may make his T20 debut in the upcoming England series. The 32-year-old opener last played an ODI in 2019.

The World Cup is big pressure and challenge for this inexperienced batsman in T20. But Shan Masud is not feeling the pressure. He said that after the death of his beloved sister, he is not feeling the pressure of anything else.

A major accident changed his life. Due to this incident, there has been a huge change in the form of cricket.

The death of Shan Masud’s sister changed his life. After the death of his sister, the Pakistani batter is desperate to get himself back in the twenty-two yards with a new perspective.

Shan Masood said this at a press conference in Karachi on Saturday about his plans and feelings about getting a chance on the World Cup team.
“I have learned a lot over time and have become experienced as a person and as a player. There is so much more important in life than cricket. So I feel lucky with what I do. My sister’s death has taught me to think differently about life. I now feel it’s great to get a chance to play in my favorite event for the country and earn from it. But apart from success and failure in cricket, there is a lot more to life. â€?/p>

Not playing a single International T20 match in the World Cup squad. Don’t you feel any pressure?

Shan Masood said, “I think cricketers should try to give their best whenever they get a chance. And if he does not perform, only that cricketer is responsible. No one else. So I won’t blame anyone if I can’t come back successfully. I can only give my best. But the fruit is not in my hands. â€?

Shan Masood is basically a regular performer on Pakistan’s Test team. The batsman, who has played only 5 ODIs, has already played 25 Test matches. He scored 1378 runs. There are four centuries and six half-centuries.

However, former Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur wanted to use Shan Masood’s talent in limited overs. Mickey Arthur said, “Shan Masud was not satisfied with anything. That’s why I called him back into the team. â€?/p>

According to many, Shan Masud batted well in the franchise league even though he did not make his debut in international T20. He got a chance in the World Cup squad due to his excellent performance in the Pakistan Super League, Vitality Blast in England, and the National T20 Cup.

Shan Masood came to the field as a specialist opener in the Test. However, he may be dropped in the middle order in the T20 World Cup.
