Shan Masood Khan (born 14 October 1989 in Kuwait City, Kuwait) is a Pakistani cricketer. He plays for Habib Bank Limited.
He is a left hand batsman and occasionally bowls right arm medium-fast. He also played for Durham University.
Background
He was born in 1989 in Kuwait, where his father worked in a bank. Following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and the start of the Gulf War, the family left for their native Pakistan.[1]
Domestic career
In his first-class debut game in 2007, Masood scored 54 for Karachi putting together 154 for the opening wicket with Asad Shafiq. He also played three first-class games for Durham University, facing the likes of Liam Plunkett, Graham Onions and Ajmal Shehzad.
He now plays for Habib Bank Limited and was part of the winning side of the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy in 2011. He scored closed to a 1000 runs in last year’s domestic 4 day season and is already close to 700 runs with plenty of games to go.
Shan is known as probably the most technically sound player in the domestic circuit and opening every game for a team like HBL which in itself could be the Pakistan team's batting lineup, is a testament to that. He offers something different from a typical Pakistani player as he is one of the very rare cricketers in Pakistan who is also gaining a degree from abroad with Loughborough University.
International career
Shan made 75 on his test debut against South Africa.He made his debut on his birth day. He then had a number of failures in his next 8 test innings including a controversial review decision. He scored his first century to get back into form against Sri Lanka and laid the platform for a 7 wicket win.
