Born in Khost, Zadran made his List A debut in Islamabad in 2011, when Afghanistan became the first international team to visit Pakistan since the 2009 attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team, and his speed and wicket-taking ability soon saw him installed as a regular fixture in their playing XI.

Dawlat Zadran: Career Highlights

Dawlat Zadran was clocked at 145.3kph during the Asia Cup in 2014 and provides the pace of pace rarely seen in the Associate sides. He was Afghanistan’s spearhead at their successful World T20 qualifying campaign in 2011-12 and represented the team at both the 2012 and 2014 tournaments. While he probably won’t stick around for long at the crease, Zadran is also a handy sting in the tail of Afghanistan’s batting. He cracked four sixes in seven deliveries to help Afghanistan to a last-over win against Zimbabwe in 2014 – a result that allowed Afghanistan to claw their way back into, and eventually level, the series.

He is pretty handy with the willow in his hand and is responsible for one of the finest finishing efforts in an ODI match. He smashed four sixes in the last seven balls to see his side through in a fascinating encounter against Zimbabwe in 2014. Dawlat would consider himself highly unfortunate as he hurt his knee during a training session and was ruled out for Afghanistan’s historic inaugural Test match against India. He will have to wait for his Test debut patiently.

The T20 debut for Dawlat Zadran came on 13 March 2012 against Papua New Guinea in the ICC World T20 Qualifiers. He took 2 wickets in the match, which helped Afghanistan secure a victory over Papua New Guinea by 6 wickets. Dawlat Zadran has played 74 One Day Internationals and has taken 103 wickets to date with an average of 29.13 with 3 4-wicket hauls in an innings. He has also scored 502 runs at an average of 20.91 and a strike rate of 80.06 as a lower-order batsman.
