Even after taking a total of 496 wickets in his career, this player never got a chance to play international cricket for Pakistan. He used to play for Islamabad in the Pakistan Super League. However, since 2018, Shahzad has neither played a first-class match nor a List A match. The last time he landed on the field was during a match with the Marylebone Cricket Club that toured Pakistan in 2020.
