Shadab Khan reveals reason behind not accepting BBL contract
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterLinkedinWhatsapp

Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan recently revealed his decision to decline a Big Bash League (BBL) contract, opting instead to focus on four-day cricket to enhance his bowling skills and secure a return to the Test team.

In an interview with a local media channel, Shadab elaborated on the reasoning behind his choice to forgo the BBL contract this year. “The purpose behind leaving the Big Bash contract is to first improve my bowling by playing four-day cricket, and secondly, to perform well and make a comeback into the Test team,” explained the 25-year-old cricketer.

Emphasizing the importance of honing his bowling abilities, Shadab expressed confidence that participating in the longer format of the game would significantly contribute to his overall skill progression. Contrary to speculations, he clarified that his decision was not driven by the national T20 format but rather by the desire for improvement through four-day cricket.

“I didn’t leave the Big Bash contract because of playing national T20; rather, my focus was more on playing four-day cricket. Because I felt that I needed improvement in my bowling, and that would come through playing four-day cricket,” he added.

Shadab reiterated his commitment to self-enhancement, aiming to regain his form and make a substantial contribution to the national team. “I have tried to invest in myself to play four-day cricket and improve my bowling. If my bowling improves, and along with that, if my batting also improves, it will be beneficial for the Pakistan team,” he explained.

The cricketer views participating in four-day cricket as an opportunity to invest in his abilities strategically, aligning his objectives with the upcoming World Cup. Despite being approached by BBL franchise Adelaide Strikers as a potential replacement for Rashid Khan, Shadab has not yet accepted the offer, seeking recommendations on whether to accept or continue prioritizing the domestic season over the Australian league.

Having previously represented Brisbane Heat, Sydney Sixers, and Hobart Hurricanes, Shadab’s decision reflects a conscious choice to focus on skill development and prioritize the domestic season over international leagues.
