Club career

In the 2019 season, he became the top scorer of the Belarusian Premier League with 19 goals scored.

On 8 January 2020, Shkurin was transferred to FC Dynamo Brest,[2] and the next day he was re-sold by Dynamo to the Russian Premier League club PFC CSKA Moscow. He signed a 4.5-year contract with CSKA.[3] Shkurin was handed the number 99 shirt until the end of the 2019–20 season, due to Premier League rules stipulating he couldn't use the number 11 as it had previously been used by Lucas Santos that season.[4]

International career

Amid the 2020 Belarusian protests, Shkurin refused to play for the national team until resignation of president Alexander Lukashenko.[5]
