Aayan Afzal Khan is an incredible prospect who, despite his tender age, has already featured in 60 plus international matches for the United Arab Emirates.
Since his UAE debut in September 2022, Khan has scored over 700 runs and taken 70 plus wickets, with ODI batting and bowling averages of 30.27, and 26.43, respectively.
A genuine all-rounder, Khan bats in the middle-order and bowls left-arm spin. He was a stand-out performer for the UAE U19s, with whom he represented at the ICC World Cup in 2022 (winning the player of the match award when scoring 93 to help beat the West Indies), and skippered during their run to the ACC U19 Asia Cup final.
In-fact, during their successful Asia Cup run (Dec 2023), when beating the likes of Sri Lanka, then Pakistan in the Semi Final, Khan was at the forefront of their campaign. He was awarded player of the match twice in a span of three days. His 67 off 41 balls helped the UAE reach 320-7 against Japan, before playing a crucial role in his sides win against Sri Lanka (2-38 & 33).
Khan, who holds the distinction of being the youngest cricketer to feature in an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup match at the tender age of 16 years and 335 days, has also featured in Franchise cricket, rubbing shoulders with global stars including James Vince, Chris Lynn, Shimron Heymyer, Carlos Brathwaite, and Chris Jordan for the Gulf Giants alone.
The young all-rounder really is quite the prospect who aspires to become a legend of UAE cricket. It’s fair to say he’s treading the right path given his recent performances.
The talented Emirates star is eager to continue his development and has targeted a season in England next summer. A high-quality talent for any club seeking a genuine all-rounder.
