The emerging star of Pakistani cricket team “Ahmed Shehzad” was born on 23rd of November 1991 in the city of Lahore. He belongs to the Pakhtoon tribe “Afridi” (very few people know about this fact) when he was only eight months or so his father passed away. And his family saw difficult times, but due to the struggle and hard working of his mother he and his siblings got the quality education and learned the norms of the society. Unlike so many Pakistani cricketers he has come from an educated background and that thing reflects from his behavior.
In limited-overs domestic cricket Ahmed Shehzad plays for Lahore Lions and in June 2011 during the Faysal Bank T-20 Super Eights Shehzad top scored the innings by scoring 74 of 47 balls imposing a mammoth total of 218 against the opposition Sialkot Stallions who in turn were bowled out for 173 Shehzad took two-catches and a wicket as well he was rewarded man-of the match for his superb performances.
The right-handed batsman, who took to the game aged just seven, has over the years been a prolific scorer for Pakistan's Under-19s and Youth sides. Just 16, he made his domestic debut for Habib Bank Limited and the first signs of his enormous talent were evident when with a fine 167, he helped Pakistan Under-19 chase down a stiff target of 342 set by England in a Youth Test. Back home, he went to score 315 runs in a 5-0 mauling of Australia Under-19s in a Youth ODI series and a whirlwind 92 of just 49 balls for the Lahore Eagles in domestic game gave further proof of his talent. Following a successful 2008 Under-19 World Cup campaign, he made it to Pakistan's Test squad for the 2009 home series against Sri Lanka.
Shehzad made his debut for Pakistan in a one-day international against Australia on 29 April 2009. In his maiden match he scored one boundary before he was run-out. The following match he scored 40 in an innings that included 4 fours. The third match he scored 43 but this time just scored 2 fours and in the final match of the series he scored 19 with 1 boundary to his name before he was given out leg-before. These consistent performances meant that Shehzad made his Twenty20 debut against Australia scoring a single boundary before being caught in the deep. Despite a failure in the Twenty20 Shehzad was selected for the Pakistan squad in the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 he only played one-game which was the opening game against England being caught by Paul Collingwood Pakistan changed their combination removing Shehzad and his partner Salman Butt and replaced them with Shahzaib Hasan and Kamran Akma
Since 2009, he has been the integral part of the team, famous because of his aggressive playing style he has made some quick centuries to prove this. His selection in the world cup squad for 2011 (Held in sub-continent) was turning the point of his career. He performed well in the world cup as he is not only an aggressive opener for Pakistani Cricket team but an energized fielder. He fields often in the point position (which is thought to be the vital fielding position in cricket).

He took almost four years to make his debut in Test cricket. In the year 2013 a test against Sri Lanka was his first ever test match. The test cap was given to him in small traditional ceremony of cricket by the legend test cricketer of Pakistan “Younis Khan”. He had got his place in T20 internationals in the same year when he made his ODI debut (2009) since then he has been present in almost all the shorter formats.
He has always said that whatever he is right now is just because of the hardworking of his mother and he cannot pay back what she has done for him.
He scored hundreds against Australia and New Zealand, but had to miss two Tests against New Zealand after being struck on the head by a Corey Anderson bouncer. He returned in the subsequent ODI series and smashed his sixth ODI century in the third game. Shehzad is an integral part of the team that was picked for the 2015 World Cup.
