Shadab Khan, the legspinner from Pakistan has started turning pale by losing his ability to turn the ball. He made his ODI debut back in 2017 against West Indies. Khan got off to a great start donning the Green jersey as he grabbed 19 wickets in his first 12 games at an economy of 4.99. Now, his graph of performance is moving downwards, who grabbed 12 wickets in last 12 matches with an increased economy.

Moreover, he has been losing his ability to disturb opponent batsmen and it has been long that he had produced a breakthrough performance for his side with the ball. It’s been almost eight months since he took his last three-wicket haul for the Men in Green. There are several big names waiting in the domestic ranks of Pakistan for their chance.

However, it doesn’t matter to the board, who are reluctant to go with their preferred player in ODIs without giving any chance to the other spinners. It is sheer luck that he is currently playing for Pakistan in the 50-over format. Otherwise, he would have been dropped from the team long ago.
