Yasir Shah SI (Pashto: یاسر شاه; born 2 May 1986) is an international cricketer from Pakistan. He plays as a bowler, and is the joint-second fastest bowler in the history of Test cricket to take 100 wickets, as well as also being the fastest to pick up 200 wickets, having broken the previous record set by Australian bowler Clarrie Grimmett.[2][3]
Shah made his Test match debut for Pakistan against Australia in the UAE on 22 October 2014.[4] During Pakistan's tour of Sri Lanka, Shah became the fastest Pakistani bowler to take 50 Test wickets.
From December 2015 to March 2016, Shah was banned for 3 months from playing any type of cricket by the ICC after a sample taken from him was found to contain chlortalidone, a banned substance which is on WADA's prohibited list of diuretics and masking agents. In December 2018, during Pakistan's Test series against New Zealand, Shah became the fastest bowler to take 200 wickets in Tests, breaking an 82-year-old record.[5]
