The 31-year-old pacer represented Pakistan in one Test, 17 One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and 16 Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) between December 2013 and December 2019.
Shinwari made his international debut against Sri Lanka across all three formats.
In only his second ODI, he grabbed five wickets to earn the Player of the Match award. Overall, he claimed one wicket in Test cricket, 34 in ODIs and 13 in T20Is.

He was also part of Pakistan’s squad for the 2018 Asia Cup.
