Early life and background

Shabnam Md Shakil was born on 17 June 2007 in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. She grew up in a middle-class family in the city and attended Siva Sivani School in Marripalem. Her father, Md. Shakil, played club cricket as a fast pacer and later worked as a firefighter at INS Kalinga; her mother, K Eswaramma, is employed with the Indian Navy. Shabnam developed an interest in fast bowling at an early age and began formal training when her father enrolled her at the NAD Academy in Visakhapatnam when she was eight.

Career

Shabnam is a right-arm medium pacer who bats right-handed. She trained under coaches including Nagaraju, Satish Reddy and Krishna Rao while practising at the NAD Academy and the Visakhapatnam District Cricket Association ground. Progressing through district-level cricket, she made her under-19 debut for Andhra Pradesh in 2021 and earned a place in the Zonal Cricket Academy.

Her pace attracted attention as she was clocked bowling at around 110 km/h, which led to selection for a National Cricket Academy camp and subsequent opportunities with India’s age-group teams. In 2022 she was part of India’s under-19 setup for a five-match T20 series against New Zealand and played for India B Women Under-19 in the Women’s U19 T20 Quadrangular Series, where she delivered economical spells including dot balls and multiple dismissals in appearances.

Shabnam was included in India’s squad for the inaugural Women’s U-19 T20 World Cup in 2023 and appeared in two matches during the tournament. In February 2023 she entered the Women’s Premier League auction and was acquired by the Gujarat Giants. She continued to be involved in the India under-19 program and was a member of the Indian U-19 women’s team that won the T20 World Cup in February 2025; the Board of Control for Cricket in India announced a cash prize for the team’s members following that victory.

Public profile

Physically, Shabnam stands around 177 cm (approximately 5'10") with black eyes and black hair. She is described as a fast bowler whose goal has been to maximise pace and develop effective bouncers. Her cricketing affiliations include Andhra Pradesh Women, India A Women Under-19, India B Women Under-19, and India Women Under-19, and she has been coached by multiple trainers through academy, zonal and national setups.

Away from cricket, Shabnam enjoys dancing, badminton and chess. She is a fan of Jhulan Goswami and Jasprit Bumrah. Her favourite food is chicken biryani, her preferred cricket venue is Goa, and she lists the film Shabaash Mithu among her favourites.

Latest updates
