Shadab Khan back in action after recovering from shoulder injury

Pakistan’s T20I vice-captain Shadab Khan has taken a major step toward his return to international cricket, resuming bowling and physical training after recovering from a shoulder injury that had sidelined him for several months.

The all-rounder shared a video on social media giving fans a glimpse of his recovery journey. In the clip, Shadab can be seen going through intense rehabilitation exercises, gym workouts, and bowling practice, signaling that he is gradually regaining full rhythm and fitness. His determination and focus in the video reflect his eagerness to make a strong comeback for Pakistan.

Shadab had undergone surgery on his right shoulder on July 5 in England, a procedure carried out under the guidance of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) medical panel. The injury, which had been troubling him for months, forced him to miss several key assignments, including the Asia Cup 2025 — a major setback both for him and the national team.

Since then, Shadab has been part of the PCB’s structured rehabilitation program, focusing on regaining strength, flexibility, and match readiness.

The 27-year-old has been one of Pakistan’s one of the most valuable all-rounders in recent years, known for his leadership, leg-spin bowling, and aggressive batting. His return will come as a huge boost for Pakistan ahead of a busy international schedule in the coming months.
