Biography
Sherezad Shah was born in a cricketing family. He is the nephew of former Test all-rounder Ali Shah, who remains his mentor.[3]
Sherezad embarked on his cricket journey around the age of four, under Ali's guidance.[3] Despite a brief interruption due to his family's relocation to South Africa in 1991, his structured cricket career flourished in Nelspruit.[3]
Earning a place in his school's first team at the Under-15 level, Sherezad also played for the Lowveld team and the Impala club.[3] In 2000, he returned to Zimbabwe, aspiring for a position in the national Under-19 team.[3] He was selected for the team for the Under-19 Cricket World Cup, although he didn't play any matches.[3] His participation in a quadrangular tournament led to a notable performance against Kenya.[3]
Sherezad had short tenures with Prince Edward School and Ali's club, Universals, where he displayed competence in pace bowling and batting.[3] Primarily a bowler, Sherezad also focused on improving his batting skills.[3] With Ali's support, he joined the CFX Academy in 2002, with a lower back injury delaying his Logan Cup debut.[3]
His notable achievements include scoring "60 not out for Prince Edward School on a South African tour, and taking four wickets for 28 runs."[3]
