Samiullah Salarzai is a genuine quick who has played 11 first-class matches picking up 27 wickets at 32.48.
A former Afghanistan Under-19 squad member (for the 2020 ICC World Cup in South Africa), he broke into domestic cricket during the 2017/18 season.
He bagged 11 wickets at 41.45 in his maiden season, but then excelled on his return, taking 16 poles at 26.31 including his first five-wicket haul, in 2018/19.
Unfortunately for Salarzai, he has surprisingly not featured in first-class since albeit has played white-ball cricket domestically. He hopes to feature this summer in a view to playing the 5 FC matches to qualify for an International Sportsperson Visa to play UK club cricket.
Should he qualify, Salarzai will be a sought after acquisition for any UK club, given his success both at home, and also abroad last summer in Holland. Playing for Punjab, he excelled in the Dutch Topklasse (top flight) club competition, topping the wicket charts with 27 wickets at 17.85.
(** Salarzai requires 5 FC matches to qualify for an ISP Visa in 2023).
