Shabbir Ahmed (cricketer)

Shabbir Ahmed Khan (Urdu: شببر احمد خان; born 21 April 1976) is a Pakistani former cricketer who played for the Pakistani national cricket team between 2003 and 2007 before got banned for an illegal bowling action.

He extracts a great deal of bounce, even on lifeless wickets, and bowling from close to the stumps – much like Glenn McGrath – allows him to stick to a tight wicket-to-wicket line.

[6][7][8] As of 21 December 2006, having completed his one-year term, Shabbir was once again eligible to play International Cricket.

However, the clause was that if Shabbir was reported again, he would be suspended from bowling at international level until his action is reassessed.

[9][10] Shabbir played in the Pakistani domestic competition till 2013 after which he called it quits.
