While Shadab is currently resting due to an ankle injury, his active involvement with the Punjab Police during this period reinforces the spirit of resilience and adaptability. Chief Selector Wahab Riaz, addressing Shadab’s absence from the T20I squad for the New Zealand series, acknowledged his significance, stating, “Shadab Khan is a very important member of Pakistan T20 cricket.”
