In reaction to the news, Shadab expressed his enthusiasm about joining the provincial police force.
“I feel honored to be chosen as a brand ambassador by Punjab IG. I’m really happy to be a part of Punjab Police,” he added.
Shadab has been given a break due to an injury. Chief Selector Wahab Riaz revealed in a press conference the day before that Shadab will not be part of the T20I squad for the New Zealand series.
“Shadab Khan is a crucial player for Pakistan T20 cricket. Sadly, he got an ankle injury during the National T20 and needs two more weeks of rehabilitation. After that, he’ll be back and ready to bowl.”
It’s worth noting that pacers Haris Rauf and Shaheen Shah Afridi have also received honorary police titles.
