Shadab Targets World Cup With A Good Bigbash Stint, Rues Ashwin Miss: Report
Twenty20 World Cup: Spin all-rounder Shadab Khan hopes a good season with the Sydney Thunder will help him regain his place in the Pakistan squad for the upcoming Twenty20 World Cup 2026, ruing a missed chance to play alongside Indian great Ravichandran Ashwin, says a report on Friday.
The 27-year-old leg-spinner has not played for Pakistan since a home T20I series against Bangladesh in June this year, as he had to undergo shoulder surgery before a long rehab. He will play his fourth season in the Australian T20 league, having previously played for Sydney Sixers, Hobart Hurricanes, and Brisbane Heat, the report added.
"It's a great opportunity, and I'm pleased that major Pakistani names are playing in the BBL this time, Shadab told Telecom Asia Sport (www.telecomasia.net). "The league is getting recognition because of them as well," he said during a virtual media talk from Sydney.
