Saud Shakeel is a left-handed Pakistani cricketer known for his solid technique, patience, and ability to anchor the Test middle order, becoming the first Pakistani to score a Test double century in Sri Lanka (208*) in 2023, and is a key vice-captain in Test cricket. Born September 5, 1995, in Karachi, he bats left-handed, bowls left-arm orthodox, and plays for Pakistan internationally, often serving as a vital batting all-rounder, though his struggles in faster conditions highlight his home-turf dominance.
