Dawlat Zadran’s expressive, homespun bowling action, redolent of Waqar Younis, allows him to generate disarming pace with a quick arm over a braced front leg. Born in Khost, Zadran made his List A debut in Islamabad in 2011, when Afghanistan became the first international team to visit Pakistan since the 2009 attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team, and his speed and wicket-taking ability soon saw him installed as a regular fixture in their playing XI.
