Sharjeel Khan (Urdu: شرجیل خان;[2] born 14 August 1989)[3] is a Pakistani cricketer who plays for Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League and for Sindh in the Pakistan domestic tournaments. He made his first-class debut for Hyderabad in the 2009–10 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy on 10 October 2009.[4] He was banned for two and a half years in 2017 for his involvement in spot-fixing. In August 2019, his ban was lifted and he again became available for playing.

Known as an attacking opening batsman, he was a member of the bronze-medal team at the 2010 Asian Games in Guangzhou, China. He made his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut for Pakistan on 8 December 2013 against Afghanistan and his One Day International (ODI) debut on 18 December 2013 against Sri Lanka. In his debut ODI match he scored 61 runs from 61 balls. He was selected for the Pakistan squad for the 2016 ICC World Twenty20, where he was the highest run-scorer for his team. In February 2017, he was suspended and later banned for his part in the 2017 Pakistan Super League spot-fixing scandal.
