Suliman Safi is an extraordinary talent who recently skippered Afghanistan to the semi-finals of the ICC Under-19 World Cup in the West Indies (Jan/Feb 2022).
Safi was not only at the helm of his country’s most successful U19 campaign, but he was their chief run-scorer hitting 227 runs at 37.83 to include a century (111) against Zimbabwe.
The left-handed opener, who also notched up notable scores of 62 (v PNG), and 37 (v Australia), won plaudits aplenty for both his batting and leadership skills throughout the tournament.
His selection as captain for the World Cup came as no surprise given his exploits in his homeland. With maturity beyond his years, Safi has churned runs at every level played to date, from schoolboy cricket to provincial age groups, and senior domestic cricket.
Incredibly, Safi made his first-class debut as a 15-year-old for Kabul in February 2019. He fell agonizingly short his maiden century (99) in his second match, but brought up the accolade in his fifth, when showing his big-game temperament with an undefeated 101* in the Mirwais Nika Provincial final against Kunduz, with Kabul coming out victors.
After 7 first-class games Safi has racked up 375 runs at 37.50 and these numbers combined with his U19 World Cup exploits suggest he has an incredibly bright future.
Whilst known for his batting, Safi can lay claim to genuine all-rounder status. Not only does he bat, but he is a useful off-spinner who can also keep wicket – he has done both at Afghanistan Under-19 level.
A serious prospect for the future, Safi is now eager to continue his development and progression towards full international honours with a season working on his game abroad in 2022.
