Shah represented Lahore East Zone Whites Under-19s and Lahore Ravi Under-19s before making his first-class debut for National Bank of Pakistan against Khan Research Laboratories in the 2016–17 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.[3][4] He made his second and final first-class appearance later in the same competition against United Bank Limited, taking the only wicket of his senior career when he dismissed Hammad Azam.[5] In recognised senior cricket, Shah did not score a century or take a five-wicket haul.[2]
While in England, Shah also played for Loughborough MCCU against Australian Universities in 2016 and 2018.[6][7] Later, a back injury curtailed his ambitions of becoming a professional cricketer.[8][9]
After his playing career, Shah studied at Loughborough University, graduating with a BSc in Business, Economics and Finance in 2018 and an MSc in Finance and Investment in 2019.[8] In March 2026, following CD Ventures' majority acquisition of the Pakistan Super League franchise then known as Sialkot Stallionz, Shah was appointed chief executive officer of the rebranded Multan Sultans.[10][8]
