Legendary pacer, Waqar Younis believes opener Shan Masood should be considered for selection in Pakistan’s T20 side after his marvelous start to the seventh edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Waqar said that Shan has matured with age and his consistent hard work has led him to re-establish himself as one of the best openers in the country.
Waqar believes Shan’s exceptional form warrants a place in Pakistan’s national T20 setup. Waqar took to Twitter to express his opinion on the stylish left-hander.

Shan has been considered as a Test specialist for the majority part of his career and has not been considered by Pakistan for white-ball cricket. He has only played 5 ODIs for the national team and has not featured in T20I cricket. Shan last played limited-overs cricket for Pakistan in 2019 and his last outing for Pakistan in Test cricket was at the beginning of last year.
Recently, Shan has re-invented himself as a white-ball cricketer and has been in sensational form with the bat in all three formats of the game in domestic cricket. He scored three centuries in his previous four outings in first-class cricket and has carried his form into PSL 2022. Shan is currently the highest run-scorer in PSL 7 having scored 240 runs, including two half-centuries, at an average of 60.00 and a strike rate of 152.86 in 4 innings so far in the competition.
