About Mohamed Shafeeq

In the ever-developing Kuwait cricket setup, Mohamed Shafeeq stands out as a reliable spin-bowling all-rounder who brings balance, experience, and quiet determination to the squad. A right-arm off-spinner with subtle variations and a clever cricketing brain, Shafeeq has carved out his place as a dependable option, particularly in the T20 format where control is everything. Born in Sri Lanka and later settling in Kuwait, Shafeeq’s cricketing journey is a cross-cultural story of perseverance and passion. His foundation in cricket came from the subcontinent’s rich cricketing culture, where spin was both an art and a weapon. Upon moving to Kuwait, he found a familiar rhythm in the local leagues, quickly making a mark with his accuracy, tactical bowling, and ability to keep things tight in the middle overs. What makes Shafeeq valuable is his control. He doesn’t turn the ball extravagantly, but he varies his pace and flight with precision. He’s known to bowl with remarkable discipline, rarely giving away loose deliveries. In pressure situations, he often steps up—especially on slow pitches where his skill set thrives. His spell against Bahrain in the T20 World Cup Asia Qualifiers, where he took 2 wickets while conceding under 5 runs per over, was a textbook demonstration of spin bowling under pressure. With the bat, Shafeeq adds value as a lower-order batter capable of chipping in with vital runs. He may not be explosive, but he’s clever—nudging singles, rotating strike, and playing the situation with maturity. His ability to stay calm under pressure has helped Kuwait finish innings with a flourish or rebuild when early wickets fall. Off the field, Shafeeq is regarded as a team man—humble, helpful, and quietly passionate about the game. He enjoys mentoring young spinners, teaching them the nuances of grip, release, and reading batters. He’s also a strong believer in fitness and self-discipline, always pushing himself and those around him to raise their standards. For Kuwait, Mohamed Shafeeq is not the loudest player, but he's one of the most reliable—a bowler who holds things together, a batter who can steady a wobble, and a personality who adds calm to the dressing room. His presence continues to be an important part of Kuwait’s rise on the associate cricketing map.
