Watch: Ahmed Shehzad Bowled Out By Local Resident, Laughed Off With ‘He Wants To Play For Pakistan’

Ahmed Shehzad, a former Pakistani cricketer known for his outspoken criticism of current team captain Babar Azam, has recently attracted attention not just for his comments but also for his performance in a local gully cricket match. Shehzad, who last played for Pakistan in 2019, has frequently expressed his dissatisfaction with Babar Azam’s leadership, particularly criticizing Pakistan’s poor showings in world cricket under his captaincy.

In a recent outburst, Ahmed Shehzad criticized Babar’s performance during the T20 World Cup, pointing out what he sees as poor statistics and lackluster contributions. “Your strike rate is 112 and your average is 26. You haven’t hit a single six in 207 balls in the Powerplay. I admit my own performances could have been better 8 years ago, but your stats are even worse. You’re worse than me, yet you’re hailed as a king. You’re a fraud king,” Shehzad had said.

However, Ahmed Shehzad himself found himself in the spotlight for less flattering reasons when a video of his performance in a gully cricket match went viral. In the video, Shehzad is seen being dismissed three times in a single over by a local bowler. The footage quickly spread across social media, leading to a wave of online commentary. One user captioned the post, “Ahmed Shehzad was bowled out three times in an over by a local resident in Chitral.” Another added, “He wants to play for Pakistan,” mocking Shehzad’s recent cricketing struggles.

Despite the viral video, Shehzad’s critical remarks about Babar Azam and the Pakistani team have continued to resonate among cricket fans and commentators. The stark contrast between Shehzad’s current form and his criticisms of Babar highlights the ongoing debate over leadership and performance within Pakistani cricket.
