Top-order butter Shan Masud has been included in the T20 World Cup squad amid a lot of criticism. The left-handed batsman has not yet made his debut in T20.

Shan Masood has played 25 Tests and five ODIs for Pakistan. However, before the World Cup, he may make his T20 debut in the upcoming England series. The 32-year-old opener last played an ODI in 2019.

The World Cup is big pressure and challenge for this inexperienced batsman in T20. But Shan Masud is not feeling the pressure. He said that after the death of his beloved sister, he is not feeling the pressure of anything else.

A major accident changed his life. Due to this incident, there has been a huge change in the form of cricket.

The death of Shan Masud’s sister changed his life. After the death of his sister, the Pakistani batter is desperate to get himself back in the twenty-two yards with a new perspective.

Shan Masood said this at a press conference in Karachi on Saturday about his plans and feelings about getting a chance on the World Cup team.
“I have learned a lot over time and have become experienced as a person and as a player. There is so much more important in life than cricket. So I feel lucky with what I do. My sister’s death has taught me to think differently about life. I now feel it’s great to get a chance to play in my favorite event for the country and earn from it. But apart from success and failure in cricket, there is a lot more to life. ’

Not playing a single International T20 match in the World Cup squad. Don’t you feel any pressure?

Shan Masood said, “I think cricketers should try to give their best whenever they get a chance. And if he does not perform, only that cricketer is responsible. No one else. So I won’t blame anyone if I can’t come back successfully. I can only give my best. But the fruit is not in my hands. ’

Shan Masood is basically a regular performer on Pakistan’s Test team. The batsman, who has played only 5 ODIs, has already played 25 Test matches. He scored 1378 runs. There are four centuries and six half-centuries.

However, former Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur wanted to use Shan Masood’s talent in limited overs. Mickey Arthur said, “Shan Masud was not satisfied with anything. That’s why I called him back into the team. ’

According to many, Shan Masud batted well in the franchise league even though he did not make his debut in international T20. He got a chance in the World Cup squad due to his excellent performance in the Pakistan Super League, Vitality Blast in England, and the National T20 Cup.

Shan Masood came to the field as a specialist opener in the Test. However, he may be dropped in the middle order in the T20 World Cup.
