According to Drikus Saaimon, the strength and conditioning coach for Pakistan, Shadab Khan is the fastest player in the Pakistan team with a recorded speed of 36 km/h.

This was mentioned by Saaimon in a video that was shared on the PCB's Digital Platforms.

"The fastest player, and you'll love this is Shadab, I've clocked him at 36 km/h. So it's rather quick. Between the stumps you are looking at 29-30 km/h which guys tend to achieve, and Babar during innings where the other night he scored 60, he got 5-6 kms out of that. Fakhar made 118 and he got 9 km, so you're looking at a km every 10-11 runs," Saaimon said.

Additionally, Saaimon also stated that Shaheen Shah Afridi, the fast bowler, covers a remarkable amount of distance during the game, which he described as being superhuman.

"Shaheen Shah is a super human, the amount of distance he covers in a match is just stupid. He covers around 7 km for a T20 at pace, and obviously a lot of that is in his run-up. His run-up pace is 29 km/h which is rapid," Saaimon added.
