About

Player story

One of the youngest players to score a half-century on Test debut, Ibrahim Zadran played a crucial role in Afghanistan’s emphatic victory over Bangladesh — their second-ever win in Test cricket, and one that came on foreign soil. The young opener, who will turn 18 in December 2019, impressed with his calm and composed approach in the second innings, showcasing a temperament well beyond his years. His performance provided the much-needed stability at the top of the order, an area Afghanistan has struggled with, especially after Mohammad Shahzad’s controversial exit. Zadran, known for his compact technique and gritty attitude, has been a consistent performer in Afghanistan's domestic circuit. With batting averages in the 40s in both First-Class and List A cricket, his call-up to the national Test side seemed inevitable. And judging by his assured start, he looks like a long-term asset for a team still finding its feet in the longest format of the game. While still raw and with plenty to learn, Zadran’s strong temperament and willingness to dig in mark him as a player with immense potential. His debut not only strengthens Afghanistan's top order but also offers hope for a more settled future in Test cricket.
