Reaching 1,000 Test runs is an important milestone for any cricketer since it shows their ability to continuously perform and contribute to their team's success. It demonstrates Shafique's ability and passion to the sport. This feat will definitely act as motivation and encouragement for him as he continues his cricketing journey.
