Ahmed Shehzad has been a singular case study for several to study within the international cricket realm. The promising top-order batter who once was feted for masterful strokeplay now sees himself out of contention for several years. Since his debut on the international field in 2009, he has played for Pakistan in 13 Tests, 81 ODIs, and 59 T20Is. The 33-year-old hasn't played since October 2019 for Pakistan. During one of the recent discussions, he revealed quite a shocking thing that the player is out of favor because of his charming physical attributes and alluring persona. Here is what shared Shehzad in a podcast with Ahmed Ali Butt, Pakistani actor and comedian. “Being good-looking has caused me a lot of problems. In our field, if you look good, know how to dress, and speak well, some people start to resent you," Also Read | Watch: Gudakesh Motie Stuns Babar Azam with a Peach in PAK vs WI Test Continuing on the same topic, Ahmed Shehzad also claimed that a lot of other Pakistani cricketers have also been on the receiving end of the same theme. He pointed out how it is difficult for the senior players to accept that a junior is on the rise and fans are appreciating the young player both in terms of gameplay and overall personality and recognition. “I’ve been a target within the Pakistani team for this. I’m not defending myself here, but there are others who have also faced this. If your fan-following grows and people appreciate you, it’s hard for some senior players to accept. We come from small areas. I lived in Anarkali, Lahore, and when I gained recognition, I worked on grooming myself and improving my personality. But, this has also caused significant problems within Pakistan," he added. Speaking of Shehzad's latest cricketing appearance on the field, it was for Water and Power Development Authority against Pakistan Television in the President's Cup Grade-I tournament, where he was leading the former side. Though the 33-year-old has not announced international retirement yet, it is highly unlikely that he will get to don the national jersey of Pakistan again.
