Ahmed Shehzad wants to be an aggressive batsman like Australian great Ricky. Ahmed Shehzad made his debut when he was 17 years old against Australia in 2009. Just one year earlier than the modern day great Virat Kholi, though they resemble with each other but not their performance.

Every one know the heights Kohli has reached he's just behind Sachin Tendulkar in scoring most hundreds. On the other hand Ahmed Shehzad is still struggling to be a regular part of the Pakistani squad. He was part Pakistan squad which won 2009 T20 World Cup tough he had just played one Match.
Right after five years in 2014 he became only Pakistani to score a hundred in all three format of the game. He debuted for Pakistan in test playing against Sri Lanka in 2014 in Pakistan adopted home UAE. He scored his first test century in third test versus SL.

He scored two more test centuries against Australia and New Zealand that gave him wings to fly high in the world of cricket. but fortune had other plans for him. he was hit by a deadly bouncer on his head by a Lankan bowler in 2014 that changed everything for this lad as he stayed away from cricket for many months. since then he couldn't not be a consistent performer be it One Day international or T20I and test Cricket.
