LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board on the request forwarded by the team management has allowed opener Ahmed Shehzad to return home from the ongoing tour of West Indies where Pakistan are playing the last Test against the home team.
“Ahmed Shehzad had made a request to the team management to return home from the ongoing tour due to his mother’s illness and birth of his first child. The opening batsman will now join the team in England [for the ICC Champions Trophy],” a PCB press release stated.
Right-handed Shehzad, 25, failed to score productively on the West Indies tour and finally he was dropped from the ongoing third Test, and was replaced by left-handed Shan Masood.

Great decision by AS himself. Please stay with your family and take care of them, some one who can play for country can take your place.

Pakistani public is too harsh on the guy. He's just very low on confidence after the injury.
Something tells me Shahzad could be Pakistan's top batsman across formats in 2019. I just hope that someone in PCB keeps backing him.

Ahmed Shahzad ,Umer Akmal and Fawad Alam are
3 jewels remarkable talents very badly mishandle not only by authorities but themselves too.
Whereas Shan Masood ,Haris Sohail and Omer Amin beside getting more than fair chance could not show their talent.
Even before Youis and Misbah departure, Azhar Ali is the most productive batsman in team ,and now followed by Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz Ahmed number 6 and 7. Batting slots 2 to 5
are available to grasp. Babar Azam has a good grip in number 3 but not full. We need a spinning all rounder like Fawad or Imaad and a pace all-rounder
