Hailing from Pakistan, Mohammad Shahzad broke into the United Arab Emirates one-day international team in May 2014, when he lined up against Afghanistan in the 2014 Asian Cricket Council Premier League.
The allrounder then travelled to Australia for the ICC Cricket World Cup warm-up tour and made a handful of appearances in the series against Pakistan A.
Shahzad batted well in November’s ODI series against Afghanistan, coming in at first drop to score 79 and 62.
