Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
But a suspect action derailed his blossoming career and despite being the then joint quickest from Pakistan to 50 wickets( 10 Tests along with Waqar Younis). Mohammad Asif later equaled the record and in 2015, Yasir Shah went one better and completed 50 scalps in 9 games. He was called for a dodgy action four times in his career and his last appearance for Pakistan was in 2007 in a T20I.
His domestic sojourn continued till 2013 after which he called it quits. Post 2007, he decided to be part of ICL and ended all his chances of an international reincarnation.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
With the imposition of a one-year ban on him for a suspect bowling action in December 2005, Shabbir Ahmed's career will forever be blighted. He was called after the first Test against England in Multan, the second time in a year and worryingly, the fourth time in his short career. And it will remain a shame for Shabbir's career thus far held a good deal of promise. Not only did he become the joint-fastest Pakistani bowler to 50 Test wickets (with Waqar Younis in 10 Tests), but as a tall (6'5"), gangly fast-medium bowler Shabbir is moulded from different materials altogether than most Pakistani fast men. He extracts a great deal of bounce, even on lifeless wickets, and bowling from close to the stumps - much like Glenn McGrath - allows him to stick to a tight wicket-to-wicket line. He seams and cuts more than he swings, often sharply and both ways and is a sound exponent of reverse swing. He was express when he made his ODI debut, picking up three wickets but he was immediately reported - and has since reduced his pace considerably. His Test career began in impressive style as well with an eight-wicket haul against Bangladesh in Karachi, on a track that offered no assistance to the pace bowlers and in most performances since, around the world, he has picked up wickets and stemmed the flow of runs. A genial, unassuming character who started playing cricket as a batsman, his laidback personality only enhances the poignancy of what has happened to him.
