Ijaz Ahmad (Azad) is a highly talented young top-order batter currently representing Maiwand Champions on Afghanistan’s domestic circuit.

Identified as a standout prospect from an early age, Ijaz produced exceptional performances in Under-16 and Under-17 provincial cricket, earning selection for the Afghanistan U17, where he was appointed captain. He announced himself on the international stage by scoring a century on debut for his national side. Following a strong run of performances, the top-order batter made his First-Class debut for Kabul at just 17 years of age.

After an impressive 12-month period, Ijaz was selected for the Afghanistan U19, where he once again captained the side, underlining his leadership qualities alongside his batting pedigree.

Now aged 22, Ijaz has accumulated nearly 60 professional matches across all three formats. He boasts a First-Class batting average in the mid-30s, with a highest score of 151, while his List A average sits in the early 40s, highlighting his consistency and adaptability across formats.

In addition to his batting, Ijaz offers useful leg-spin, adding further value to his all-round skill set.

With ambitions to follow in the footsteps of many of his peers and make his mark in UK cricket, Ijaz comes highly recommended by Afghanistan Test spinner and CricX client Zia-ur-Rehman Akbar, who believes he possesses all the attributes required to excel in club cricket.

A genuine hidden gem, Ijaz Ahmad (Azad) could prove to be a standout signing for any side ahead of the 2026 season, and his footage is certainly well worth close attention.
