Pakistan T20I vice-captain Shadab Khan resumed training on Saturday in a bid to make his return to international cricket following surgery for a recurring shoulder injury.
The 27-year-old resumed his practice and physical training, which was seen in a video posted on his social media account.
Shadab was seen doing intense rehabilitation exercises, gym workouts, and bowling practice.
“Rehab work ongoing, back training on all aspects! Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer, believer,” he wrote.

For the unversed, the leg spinner had undergone surgery on his right shoulder on July 5 in England.
The need for surgery came after multiple consultations and persistent discomfort in his right shoulder for some time. The surgery eventually ruled him out of several key assignments for Pakistan, including the Asia Cup 2025.
Since then, Shadab has been part of the PCB’s structured rehabilitation program, focusing on regaining strength, flexibility, and match readiness.
Shadab’s last appearance for Pakistan came in the three-match T20I series at home against Bangladesh, where he picked up four wickets and scored 48 and 7 in two innings.
For the unversed, the all-rounder remained a vital cog in Pakistan’s white-ball and his comeback will boost the team’s chances ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026
