Hunain Shah is a highly talented and exciting Pakistani cricketer known for his right-arm medium-fast bowling and calm temperament under pressure. A product of Pakistan’s fast-bowling tradition, he has represented Central Punjab and Islamabad Region in domestic cricket and plays franchise cricket for Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). He comes from a notable cricketing family and is the younger brother of Pakistan international fast bowler Naseem Shah, and the elder brother of Ubaid Shah, a Pakistan Under-19 representative.
Born in Lower Dir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Hunain Shah moved to Lahore in 2017 at the age of 13 to pursue professional cricket training. He joined the Pak Lions International Cricket Academy, where he developed his skills as a fast bowler. His early progress included district-level Under-16 cricket in Lahore, which laid the foundation for his rise through Pakistan’s age-group system. In 2020, Shah was selected for the Lahore Qalandars development program, gaining access to advanced coaching and high-performance facilities. This exposure accelerated his development and led to his selection for Central Punjab Under-19 and Central Punjab Whites Under-19 teams.
Hunain progressed to senior domestic cricket through the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, Pakistan Cup, and National T20 Cup. He has demonstrated versatility by contributing with both ball and bat. He recorded his maiden List A five-wicket haul in November 2023, taking 6/26 during the Pakistan Cup.In first-class cricket, he claimed his maiden five-wicket haul with figures of 5/84, and has also produced valuable lower-order batting performances, including x2 half-centuries to demonstrate his all round ability. His all-round impact earned him Player of the Match honors in the 2025–26 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, where he took match figures of 6/81 and scored 51 runs.
Hunain made his PSL debut for Islamabad United and was part of their successful PSL 2024 title-winning campaign. His most memorable moment came in the 2024 PSL final against Multan Sultans, where he struck a boundary off the final ball to secure a dramatic last-wicket victory and Islamabad United’s championship win. The moment highlighted his composure, confidence, and emerging all-round ability.
The talented quick is now seeking his maiden stint in the UK to continue his career development and add some fire power to his club. He represents one of the most exciting talents available to the club cricket market. For any club seeking an exciting strike bowler who can contribute important runs, Hunain would be an excellent signing.
