Pakistan opening batsman Ahmed Shehzad arguably remains one of the most talented players the country has to offer, but his recent performance has rarely been something to write about.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Yasir Arafat believes that only Shehzad can get himself out of the troubles, only if he ‘concentrates on fixing his problems.’ “Only Ahmed Shehzad can help Ahmed Shehzad. There is no one else to blame for the problems that he is facing at the moment, with being dropped from the teams after being selected,” said Arafat, quoted PakPassion..

“It is not that he is not capable of doing well as we saw in his fantastic performances against the World XI but his inability to improve and concentrate on fixing his problems is worrying,” he added.

Arafat pointed out that Shehzad's inability to maintain a healthy strike rate will be detrimental to the player and the side particularly in the limited overs format.

“You have to remember that when Shehzad started his career, he was considered an attacking player in all forms of the game… I cannot understand why his ability to score has diminished over time and this is something only he can answer, explain and fix.”
