‘Being good-looking caused me problems’: Pakistan batter makes SHOCKING claim

Out of favour Pakistan batter Ahmed Shehzad has revealed that he faced a lot of issues during his career because of his ‘good looks’. The batter who last featured for Pakistan in 2019, claimed in a recent interview that when a player is good looking and has a ‘good dressing sense’, that person becomes a target in Pakistan cricket.

“Being good-looking has caused me a lot of problems. In our field, if you look good, know how to dress, and speak well, some people start to resent you,” Shehzad said.

“I’ve been a target within the Pakistani team for this. I’m not defending myself here, but there are others who have also faced this. If your fan following grows and people appreciate you, it’s hard for some senior players to accept,” Shehzad added.

“We come from small areas. I lived in Anarkali, Lahore, and when I gained recognition, I worked on grooming myself and improving my personality. But this has also caused significant problems within Pakistan,” Shehzad further added.

Shehzad was a part of the Pakistan squad that won the T20 World Cup in 2009 and the Champions Trophy in 2017. The 33-year-old has so far featured in 13 Tests, 81 ODIs and 59 T20Is in his international career, scoring a total of 5058 runs.
