In the 2021-22 season, he scored 582 runs and bagged nine wickets in five matches. Shahbaz would hate the food, was regularly labelled ‘outsider’ and even thought of coming back after he was banned from playing cricket. He (Tapan) took care of Shahbaz like his own son; even my endless prayers won’t be enough,” says an emotional Abnam. The all-rounder scored 509 runs with the bat and bagged 35 wickets with his left-arm spin. Chowdhury, impressed by Shahbaz’s skills, helped him to get into Tapan Memorial Club, and very soon, he became one of his family members.

However, only after the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) conducted an investigation and gave him the go-ahead, could Shahbaz play again.

Ahmed and Abnam can’t forget the day when they received a letter from Shahbaz’s college that he had not been attending classes for months. Ahmed says, he is happy that Shahbaz has completed his degree during the lockdown. Because it gives them inspiration that if Shahbaz, who learned the basics of his cricket on these streets and went on to play for India, one day they can also do it. Even Shahbaz was a brilliant student, he got 80% in Class X, and 88% in XII.

Bengal left-arm spinner all-rounder has produced several impact-making performances with both bat and ball.

But if he features in the final ODI in New Delhi on Tuesday, one can definitely expect an even better performance. On a dry wicket, he stuck to his strength, which is bowling the stump-to-stump line and getting the odd one to turn just a little bit away. Shahbaz didn’t get the opportunity to showcase his batting abilities in Sunday’s game. But he could not make the final XI then, taking the field only as a substitute in one of those games. Making his international debut in the second India-South Africa ODI in Ranchi on Sunday, that was Shahbaz’s maiden scalp at the highest level. The 27-year-old got selected for India A as well, but this was the occasion Shahbaz had been waiting for.
