Lahore Qalandars
Abdullah was then picked by Lahore Qalandars in the 2022 PSL season and he got a chance there to make his PSL debut as well, Abdullah was the regular opener of the Lahore Qalandars in the 2022 PSL season and wasn’t doing much good but Lahore persisted with him and he scored a crucial fifty for his team in the PSL ELIMINATOR where he scored a crucial 52(28) and showed his potential as well, that was the payback to Lahore for those consistent chances they gave him, his stats in PSL 2022 PSL Season are as follows;

ABDULLAH’S T20I CAREER:
I can’t say whether you all know about this or not but Abdullah Shafique had already made his T20i Debut for Pakistan even before his debut in test cricket and which was way back in November 2020, but Abdullah wasn’t able to avail those chances he got for Pakistan T20 opener when Babar Azam was injured and out due to finger fracture in 2021.
Now even after his amazing performances, he is not in the race of the Pakistan T20 squad because now he has to compete with Muhammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, and even his own batting partner Fakhar Zaman for the opening slot of the Pakistan T20 team which is not an easy task to do but in future, there is definitely good chances that Abdullah will be given some chances again to prove himself at the international arena if he continues to perform as he did in Pakistan Super League 2023 season for Lahore Qalandars.
