About Safyaan Sharif

Read full biographyClose biography

From a debut to remember to becoming a key figure in Scotland’s bowling unit, Safyaan Sharif has steadily built a reputation as one of the most dependable seamers in Scottish cricket. Born in England , Sharif made his mark in Scottish colours during the Intercontinental Cup One-Day competition , debuting in ODIs against the Netherlands . He announced himself in style, delivering a match-winning spell of 4 for 27 in his very first outing. His red-ball journey began shortly after, with a First-Class debut in September 2011 against Namibia , followed by another appearance against the UAE in the 2012 Intercontinental Cup , where he continued to develop his skillset in the longer format. Sharif's breakthrough moment came during the 2014 ICC World Cup Qualifiers , where he was a standout performer for Scotland. His tally of 14 wickets in the tournament was instrumental in securing Scotland’s qualification for the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup . As a result, he earned a well-deserved place in the 15-member squad that represented the nation on the global stage in Australia and New Zealand.
