Who is Shan Masood, the left-handed batsman
Who is Shan Masood, the left-handed batsman: This is an unusual query for a listicle, but I have one. Can you determine where Shan Masood’s father was on October 14, 1989, when his son was born?
Wasim Akram took a hat trick in Sharjah, and we were there to see it. West Indies were the opposition.
It was a remarkable bowling performance that stands out in my mind. Keep an eye out for how he bends the ball in his signature style, which involves moving from over to around.
However, that’s not where our tale begins. Since Shan Masood’s father is so enamored with the sport, he assumes it is in his “genetics” to do well at it.
Here’s one more fact about how much his father, a banker, enjoyed the sport of cricket. Unfortunately, he missed Pakistan’s 1992 World Cup victory because he was busy attending the other tournaments. After such a disastrous omission, Masood yanks his leg.
Channel 7 interviews Shan Masood, who explains that his brother was born in the United States since the family had to relocate from Kuwait due to the Gulf War.
The family returned to Pakistan, but why?
My sister was born with a chromosomal abnormality. Thus, she is a really unique kid. We relocated back to Pakistan so that she could be closer to family and receive better care, Masood explains.
After that, he and his family spent ten years in the United Kingdom, where he attended boarding school. We’ve all seen the world, so to speak. Two years ago, his sister passed away.
How exactly did he improve his cricketing skills when he was in England?
He almost surpassed Alastair Cook’s record for most runs scored by a schoolboy in a single season. At school, he played cricket alongside future pros like Jonny Bairstow, James Taylor, Jos Buttler, and Sam Billings. I owe a great deal of my development as a player to my time in England, and I will always be grateful to the country for that.
What did he say earlier this year when out of the Pakistan team?
His sister’s death eight months ago “made me realize life is beyond only cricket,” he said to Geo TV. “Last couple of years have taught me a lot, from losing a spot in Pakistan squad to losing captaincy of Multan Sultans and losing place in the PSL playing XI,” he said.
I’m having fun with whatever I’m playing right now. Playing is something I can’t do forever, so I must make the most of my time.
For example, in May of this year, Mohammad Yousuf disclosed the following information concerning Masood.
No Asian cricketer, in my opinion, has ever scored two double centuries and 1000 runs so rapidly. The team’s selectors will undoubtedly take notice of him. In the Test, he is already present. As part of ODIs, eye contact is essential. We already have guys in the No. 3 and Opening positions, so we’ll have to figure out how to work him in.
How does Shahid Afridi describe him?
He has returned to try again. For the record, he has my highest regard. His exceptional personality shines through in the way he ignores everything else and concentrates solely on cricket.
Never complains or vents frustrations. Those who wish to return should take his example. Knowing there was an opening berth up for grabs in Pakistani cricket, he wisely dropped to batting at No. 3 and 4 in domestic cricket.
If he wasn’t on the squad, how did he handle it?
“The worst thing about our culture is that we look down on those who try and fail. “There are consequences and fines, but failure also brings lessons, and if you’re eager to learn, you can learn and come back,” Masood said on Cricast with Sawera Pasha.
Many low points in my life. I’m a really sensitive soul. My actions may be naive, but my intentions are pure. However, that distinctive character trait has also served as an inspiration.
Whenever I would hear or read something negative about myself, I would remind myself that I have the power to prove them wrong. It all comes down to results, after all. Bigger fish have been thrown under the bus than Shan Masood.
Who is his idol, a sort of mentor figure?
Khan Younis. I’ve picked up a lot of wisdom from him. When I used to go to him with my hitting issues, he would instead chat with me about life in general. Back then, I was completely confused.
Now that I can rewatch it in my mind, I realize how helpful it was. I could have recovered sooner if I had listened to him then. Growing up, he was my idol, so having him in the same locker room as the Habib Bank and Pakistan teams was a huge deal.
Pakistani cricket needs inspirational figures like him who can impart technical knowledge and the ability to think quickly on one’s feet and make calculated choices under pressure. Masood remarked, “Cricket is a game of decisions.”
What type of bowler does he want to be?
“I’m looking forward to taking on the challenge that is Jasprit Bumrah. To me, Dale Steyn is the best. Multiple times, James Anderson has brushed me off.
Whenever I saw Glenn Mcgrath on TV, I’d mutter, “Please send me back to the pavilion immediately; I don’t want to wait around for him to send me back there. The man says to Sawera with a chuckle. And right now, Pat Cummins is my favorite fast bowler.
Masood has revealed that while he used to cheer for Yuvraj Singh, he now prefers Virat Kohli and enjoys watching Rohit Sharma bat most.
