Junaid Khan is a tall left-arm fast bowler renowned for his smooth action and ability to shape the ball away from right-handers while generating swing at pace. These attributes made him one of Pakistan’s most promising new-ball operators across formats during the first half of the 2010s.

Junaid enjoyed a standout second year in international cricket, claiming 20 wickets across ten ODIs against Australia, India, and South Africa. His contributions were instrumental in Pakistan’s historic series victory in India, and he later formed part of the ICC Champions Trophy–winning squad in England. In Test cricket, his reputation was established early through outstanding performances against Sri Lanka. Across two series in the UAE and Sri Lanka in 2011–12, he took 26 wickets in six Tests at under 25 apiece, and continued to dominate Sri Lanka in subsequent encounters—50 of his 71 Test wickets came against them.

In the limited-overs arena, Junaid was a regular feature of Pakistan’s ODI side during his early international career, valued for his control with the new ball and ability to strike early.

Away from international cricket, he has enjoyed a successful career in county cricket, representing Lancashire CCC and Middlesex CCC, as well as featuring in various T20 leagues. In the Pakistan Super League, he played for Peshawar Zalmi and Multan Sultans, taking 26 wickets across five seasons, and was highly regarded for his powerplay discipline and experience in pressure situations.

Junaid also boasts extensive UK club cricket experience. He first arrived as a raw left-arm quick with Ashcombe Park CC in the North Staffs & South Cheshire League in 2010, where he took an outstanding 58 wickets at 10.03, including eight five-wicket hauls from 181 overs. More recently, he starred for Hoylandswaine CC in the Huddersfield Premier League in 2022 (74 wickets at 14.93), followed by a two-year stint at Ossett CC in the Bradford Premier League (80 wickets at 19.06), and a brief spell with Pudsey St Lawrence in 2025.

Now based in Bradford and holding a spouse visa, Junaid does not require accommodation and is seeking a new club for the 2026 season. He would represent a high-profile strike bowler for any side looking to strengthen their bowling attack.

With an eye on the next stage of his career, Junaid is also keen to pursue coaching opportunities. He brings strong experience in this area, having worked with Pakistan Women, Pakistan Under-19s, and Islamabad Region in Pakistan.

A proven international performer, an outstanding club cricketer, and an ambitious coach, Junaid Khan represents a compelling option for clubs seeking both on-field quality and off-field expertise for the coming summer.
