About Hashmatullah Shahidi

Read full biographyClose biography

In an age dominated by big-hitting and unorthodox shot-making, Hashmatullah Shahidi stands out as a classical left-hander whose game is built around patience, composure, and the steady accumulation of runs. While not a flashy T20-style batter, Shahidi’s value lies in the stability he brings to the crease—making him a cornerstone of Afghanistan’s ODI and Test line-ups. Shahidi made his international debut in 2013 at just 18 years old, during the early days of Afghanistan’s rise in international cricket. His initial years were marked by inconsistency and limited opportunities, but his fortunes began to turn in 2018. That year, he made a strong impression in the Asia Cup, recording three consecutive fifties. Afghanistan delivered a spirited performance in that tournament, defeating Bangladesh and running both Pakistan and India close in tightly fought contests. Earlier in 2018, Shahidi was also part of a historic moment as a member of Afghanistan’s first-ever Test team, playing against India in Bengaluru. His contributions during that period helped cement his role in the national setup. The 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup saw Shahidi further establish himself on the world stage, scoring half-centuries against powerhouses England and New Zealand. Two years later, in 2021, he etched his name into the record books with a double century against Zimbabwe—his first in Test cricket. He would go on to score another double hundred in the format, underlining his temperament and technique in the longer format. Later that year, Shahidi was appointed captain of Afghanistan’s Test and ODI sides. His leadership came into full effect during the 2023 ODI World Cup, where Afghanistan produced their most successful campaign to date. Under his calm stewardship, they claimed wins over Pakistan, England, Sri Lanka, and the Netherlands. Shahidi contributed crucial fifties in some of those victories, leading both with the bat and as a composed figure at the helm. While he may not make headlines with towering sixes or reverse scoops, Hashmatullah Shahidi’s old-school batting style and leadership have been vital in shaping the identity and growth of Afghanistan cricket on the global stage.
