Profile & Biography
A left-hand opening batsman, Shoaib Khan's selection in Pakistan's
squad for a four-nation Twenty20 tournament in Canada in October 2008
was the reason given by chief selector Salahuddin Ahmed for his sudden
resignation. Ahmed claimed offspinner Saeed Ajmal had been picked by the
three-man selection panel, but the PCB included Shoaib instead when they
announced the 15-man squad for the tournament. Shoaib, who plays for
Quetta and Baluchistan, had impressive numbers in first-class games for
the 2007-08 domestic season. He was by far Quetta's leading run-scorer,
with 884 runs from ten matches at 52.00. Days before the squad was
named, Shoaib helped his prospects with a 54-ball 85 in a
close run-chase against the Lahore Lions in the RBS Twenty20 Cup.
