Biography

Dawlat Zadran is a genuine pace bowler of the Afghanistan cricket team who once clocked 145.3kph during the Asia cup in 2014. He made his ODI debut against Canada in 2011 and since then has been a regular fixture in the Afghanistan team.

Dawlat's most significant moment as a bowler came in an ICC WC qualifier warm-up match when his hat-trick inspired his team to a victory against highly fancied Windies by 29 runs. Afghanistan went on to defeat Windies twice in the tournament and win the competition.

He is pretty handy with the willow in his hand and is responsible for one of the finest finishing effort 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 patiently wait for his Test debut.
