Career Batting Record
| Format | Matches | Runs | Average | Strike Rate | Highest Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| First-Class | 26 | 2,019 | 45.88 | 77.17 | 229 |
| List A | 13 | 556 | 46.33 | 100.18 | 143 |
| T20 | 10 | 221 | 24.55 | 125.56 | 75* |
A First-Class average close to 46 at the age of 21 places him among the more productive young batters in Pakistan’s system. More importantly, these runs have not come in isolated bursts but through sustained performances across multiple seasons.
In the current red-ball season alone, he has produced 899 runs, underlining the fact that his form is not historical but immediate.
Performance in the Latest Domestic Season
During the recently concluded domestic campaign, Shamyl Hussain produced one of the most prolific seasons among young batters in Pakistan.
| Season Performance | Value |
|---|---|
| Red-ball runs | 899 |
| Average | 64.21 |
| Strike Rate | 76.84 |
| Boundaries in Quaid-e-Azam Trophy | 120 fours, 19 sixes |
One remarkable statistic from the 2024–25 season is that he reportedly struck 213 boundaries in First-Class cricket, the highest number recorded globally during that period. While boundary counts alone do not define a batter, they indicate a player capable of controlling innings tempo while maintaining scoring momentum.
List-A Numbers: Evidence for ODI Potential
Pakistan’s ODI selections typically draw heavily from List A cricket, where players are evaluated on their ability to balance strike rate with stability.
| List A Record | Value |
|---|---|
| Matches | 13 |
| Runs | 556 |
| Average | 46.33 |
| Strike Rate | 100.85 |
| Hundreds | 2 |
| Fifties | 3 |
| Fours | 54 |
| Sixes | 22 |
An average above 46 combined with a strike rate exceeding 100 is precisely the profile modern ODI teams seek—players capable of anchoring innings while accelerating when required.
