Fielding at deep mid-wicket, Shehzad dropped a dolly with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa needing three runs to win off the last four balls. Out of nowhere, the Pakistan batsman asked for the third umpire’s decision despite replays clearly showing he had dropped the catch clearly.Β

A fan even put a video of Shehzad doing something similar while playing for the Pakistan national team.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa went on to win the game by three wickets and with two balls to spare. Pakistan pacer Wahab Riaz was given the Man of the Match award for his figures of 5/52 that helped Khyber Pakhtunkhwa bundled out Federal Areas for 269 in 45.3 overs.Β Ahmed Shehzad, who had opened the innings for Federal Areas, was the third highest scorer for his team, as he amassed 56 off 60 balls.

There was more bad news for Shehzad on Thursday as his name was absent from Pakistan’s list of 23 probables for their World Cup 2019 squad. Other notable exclusions from the list of probables also included 2015 World Cup hero Wahab Riaz and Umar Akmal.

Pakistan are scheduled to travel to England on April 23. They will play a five-match ODI series against the hosts just before the World Cup, which will be played in England and Wales and it is scheduled to commence on May 30.
