Born on November 23, 1991 Ahmed Shehzad is a youngest Pakistani cricketer who belongs to Pashtoon tribe. He was born in glamorous city of Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. He speaks a total of three languages fluently, including Punjabi, Urdu and Pashto- which is his mother tongue.

Although he has started his career in cricket at a very young age, albeit on April 24, 2009 he made his one day international debut for Pakistan against Australia, additionally it was not the end, he also made an another debut while playing against the Australian team on 7 May 2009, during T20.

Shehzad plays cricket for Lahore Loins domestically. He scored top by making a total of 74 of 47 balls during Faysal Bank T20 in June 2011.It was October 2013 when Shehzad was shorted in Pakistani cricket team which was going to play against South African in UAE.

However, Shehzad could not quite establish himself and found himself out of the side after his early introduction. An ODI ton against New Zealand in early 2011 helped him get selected for the World Cup that year, though he did not play the knockout games. Shehzad was axed after the West Indies tour in 2011, though he had scored a ton in one of the ODIs.

He made his comeback two years later in the same setting and established himself thereafter with some phenomenal consistency. In 2013-14, he was handed a Test debut against Sri Lanka in UAE and scored his maiden ton in his third Test. During the 2014 World T20, he became the first Pakistani to score a T20I ton.

Shehzad has a wide range of shots and is talented enough to execute them very late. He doesn’t shy away from making room and going over the off-side in the shorter formats. He is also one of the safest fielders in the Pakistan camp.He was shortlisted for the Pakistan A match against South Africa in the UAE in October 2013. He scored a fifty in the game and was selected for one of the 3 remaining slots in the Test squad alongside Shan Masood and Asad Shafiq. He was, however, not selected in the playing XI in either of the 2 Tests against South Africa. Shehzad again selected for the three Tests against Sri Lanka, also in the UAE, starting on 31 December 2013, and stretching to January 2014. This was based on good showing in the limited overs leg of the tour. He debuted in the first Test, and was presented his first Test cap by Younis Khan. He scored 38 in the first innings and 55 in the second.[1] The match was drawn.
Ahmed Shehzad aims to be an aggressive batsman like Ricky Ponting, and he is well on his way if his top-order performances for Pakistan Under-19s are any indication. Shehzad made his first-class debut in January 2007, just two months after his 15th birthday, and has since established himself as an opening batsman for the U-19 team. His 167 in the same year helped Pakistan chase down a stiff 342 in the first Youth Test against England in Derby. He backed that up with impressive performances at home, scoring 315 runs - with a highest of 105 - as Australia Under-19s were thrashed 5-0. Another century followed in the Youth Test against Bangladesh, and he carried that form into the triangular tournament in Sri Lanka in 2008, which Pakistan won.

He made it to the Pakistan Test squad for the home series against Sri Lanka the following year despite not being in the probables. A century in the tour game against the visitors changed his fortunes. He returned to the Under-19 circuit to represent Pakistan in the World Cup in New Zealand.
