His debut wasn’t the best, but he has had a decent domestic T20 career, but he soon showcased his true mettle.

Sooner than later, Ubaid began to capitalize on every small opportunity he got. He shone brighter and worked harder. His notable performances were written in bold letters in the eyes of the PSL (Pakistan Super League) scouts.

Ubaid Shah rose during the 2024 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup held in South Africa. He was leading the bowling attack of the side and helped the team to reach the semi-finals.
