Khushdil Shah is a left-handed middle-order batter for Pakistan who also bowls slow left-arm orthodox. He has accumulated 3238 runs in ODI cricket.
A left-hander capable of striking the ball hard through the off side, Shah operates in the middle order where his role combines run-scoring with the ability to bowl occasional overs. His left-arm spin offers Pakistan flexibility in the lower middle order, allowing captains to balance the side without committing an extra specialist bowler.
Shah's career has seen him develop as a finisher and accumulator in the ODI format. His dual role - batter first, bowler second - gives him value in squad selection, particularly in tournaments where squad depth matters. The combination of left-handed batting and left-arm orthodox bowling is relatively uncommon at international level, making him a distinct option in Pakistan's middle order.
His 3238 ODI runs reflect a player who has been a regular fixture in Pakistan's one-day setup, contributing across multiple seasons and tournaments. Whether batting in the middle order or providing occasional bowling support, Shah has been part of Pakistan's ODI plans.
