Abdullah Tarakhail is a promising all-rounder steadily establishing himself within Afghanistan’s cricketing landscape.
A genuine seam-bowling all-rounder, Tarakhail has already built an impressive resume at a young age. He first came to wider attention representing Afghanistan Under-19s against South Africa in March 2019, sharing the field with fellow CricX talents Shafiqullah Ghafari and Ijaz Ahmad.
Shortly afterwards, he made his first-class debut and has since featured in 24 first-class, 22 List A and 30 T20 matches. With the bat, Tarakhail has been particularly effective in red-ball cricket, accumulating 563 runs at an average of 28.15 alongside 24 wickets. However, it is in white-ball cricket — and particularly T20 cricket — where he has truly excelled, showcasing his ability to influence matches with both bat and ball.
Over the past calendar year, he has taken 11 wickets at 25.27 in the Afghanistan National T20 Cup and 10 wickets at 17.20 in the Shpageeza T20 Tournament, finishing seventh and fifth respectively on the leading wicket-takers' charts.
Across his 30 T20 appearances, Tarakhail has taken 37 wickets at 22.43, including two five-wicket hauls, with an outstanding strike rate of one wicket every 15.7 balls.
His record in the Shpageeza T20 Tournament is particularly impressive. Across the competition's history from 2013–2026, Tarakhail boasts the third-best bowling strike rate of any bowler, behind only Zubad Akbari and Waqar Salamkheil, taking a wicket every 13.20 balls.
He also produced the best T20 bowling figures recorded on Afghan soil when, representing Band-e-Amir Dragons against Mis Ainak Knights in July 2026, he returned remarkable figures of 5-32 from his four overs.
As a genuine pace-bowling all-rounder — one of the most coveted profiles in modern cricket — Tarakhail offers the ability to contribute in multiple phases of a game. He is now keen to take his skills overseas and represents an excellent opportunity for global franchise teams seeking a hardworking, talented all-rounder capable of making a significant impact with both bat and ball.
