One of the finds for Pakistan in the last one year has been leg-spinner Shadab Khan. The 19-year-old has impressed everyone with his bowling skills and has also shown that he is a capable bat as well.

In the 12-month eligibility period, the leggie has played two Tests and picked nine wickets and adding to that, he scalped 16 and three wickets in nine ODIs and two T20Is respectively. He was also an integral part of Pakistan's Champions Trophy win in June this year.

Though he did not get any chances to prove himself with the bat in the given period, he showed the world what he is capable of with a willow in his hand during the Sri Lanka series that took place after the period was over.
