Farmanullah Safi is a rising all-rounder making his mark in both Afghan domestic cricket and the global franchise scene. A powerful left-handed middle-order batter and lively right-arm seamer, Safi has been a consistent performer since his first-class debut in 2017.

He has taken 42 wickets at 38.04 in 25 first-class matches—solid returns given Afghanistan’s spin-friendly conditions. With the bat, he has amassed over 1,000 runs, including a match-winning maiden century (121) in the 2024 Ahmad Shah Abdali 4-Day Tournament final for Band-e-Amir.

Safi has also featured in white-ball cricket for Amo Sharks, Kabul Eagles, and Band-e-Amir Dragons, and was identified as a national prospect through his selection for the ACB Chairman’s XI in 2021/22.

In 2023, he ventured to the UK but was recalled early after just two matches for Bankfoot (Bradford League). More recently, he made his franchise debut in the 2024/25 Bangladesh Premier League, playing seven matches for the Dhaka Capitals and contributing effectively with both bat and ball.

Now firmly on the radar, Safi is eager to explore further global opportunities as his career continues to build momentum.
