Mohammad Asif Khan is a superstar in the making and a player destined for the big time.
A schoolboy prodigy, Asif hit the headlines when becoming the fourth youngest player this century to make his first-class debut. In November 2017, aged 14 years and 67 days, Asif would make a sensational debut for Band-e-Region against Mis Ainak in the Alokozay Ahmad Shah Abdali 4-day Tournament. Coming in at 140-5, Asif would score a composed half-century, ending with 68 from 161. A quite remarkable debut from clearly a remarkable talent.
After scores of 0, 10, 41, 7*, 12, and 6* in his next 3 first-class matches, he would go on a run-spree thereafter, hitting notable scores of 50*, his maiden century (110*) and scores of 134, and 35 to help Band Region win the Ahmad Shah Abdali 4-day final.
Roll on a few years, and Asif would star for Afghanistan Under-19s, including representing his country at the ICC Under-19 World Cup in South Africa (January 2020).
Following COVID, Asif would return to domestic cricket and continue churning runs for fun – 232 runs at 46.40 with another century in 2021/22 before a further 199 runs at 29.80 during the most recent 2022/23 first-class campaign.
In June 2022, Asif was given leadership responsibility and, he continued to impress helping guide his Band Region side to Mirwais Nika Regional 3-Day Tournament glory – not to mention topping the run charts with 594 runs at 66, including yet another century (111).
Asif must clearly be considered one of Afghanistan’s brightest batting prospects, and it’s fair to say he’s also a handy off-spin bowler. The talented youngster has already achieved so much in the game and he’s yet to hit 20. It’s incredible to think about what his future holds.
In the short term, the run machine is keen to follow in the footsteps of his domestic teammates and play UK club cricket in 2024. He represents one of the hottest prospects on the market and someone we can strongly recommend.
