The youngster had played a massive role in Sialkot Region’s thrilling one-wicket win over Peshawar Region in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy 2024-25 final. However, Bhatti was repeatedly sidelined despite his match-winning performance and was unfairly forced to sit on the bench for nearly 40 consecutive matches.
"Goodbye Pakistan cricket. At 24 years of age I am leaving Pakistan cricket. I won the Quaid e Azam final last year on live television. Since then I've been benched for almost 40 games in a row," Shahzaib Bhatti posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).
