Career

Zadran made his List A debut for Afghanistan when they became the first side to tour Pakistan since the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team, with Afghanistan playing 3 unofficial One Day Internationals against Pakistan A.[1] Zadran took 6 wickets in the series, which came at an average of 28.83, with best figures of 3/45.[2] He later made his first-class debut for Afghanistan against Canada in the 2011-13 ICC Intercontinental Cup and followed this up by making his One Day International (ODI) debut against the same opposition in the 2011–13 ICC Intercontinental Cup One-Day.[3] He played both of Afghanistan's ODIs against Canada, taking 4 wickets in the series.

In April 2019, he was named in Afghanistan's squad for the 2019 Cricket World Cup.[4][5]

He is a capable batsman, and is known for his slower yorkers and death bowling.

In 2019 Cricket World Cup, Zadran was praised for his consistent yorkers, notably getting the wickets of Ben Stokes and Lasith Malinga.

He was also seen doing "Mankad" in the Shpageeza Cricket league to dismiss Noor-Ali Zadran.
