Shabbir Ahmed Khan (Urdu: شببر احمد خان; born 21 April 1976 in Khanewal) is a Pakistani cricketer. He is a line-and-length pace bowler who took eight wickets for 109 runs on his Test debut against Bangladesh in the first of their 2003–04 three-Test series, including five wickets in the second innings.[1] He also had an impressive start to his One-Day International career after picking up three wickets (all three bowled out) with two wickets in his very first over, in his debut against the West Indies at Toronto.[2][3]
Style
Shabbir Ahmed is a tall (6'5"), Pakistani fast bowler. He extracts a great deal of bounce, even on lifeless wickets, and bowling from close to the stumps – much like Glenn McGrath – allows him to stick to a tight wicket-to-wicket line. He seams and cuts more than he swings, often sharply and both ways and is a sound exponent of reverse swing.[4]
One year ban
Shabbir had taken 51 wickets in 10 tests, when in 2005 after playing the first Test against England he was reported to the ICC for an illegal bowling action. Following an investigation into his action, Ahmed was banned from cricket for one year in December 2005.[5][6][7]
Return to cricket
As of 21 December 2006, having completed his one-year term, Shabbir is once again eligible to play International Cricket. However if Shabbir is reported again, he will be suspended from bowling at international level until his action is reassessed.[8][9] Currently Shabbir is playing in the Pakistani domestic competition.
