The 16-year-old has already played 3 ODIs for Afghanistan making his debut in December last year against Ireland. Moreover, he was a part of the U-19 team that registered a semi-final berth in the on-going World Cup. Zadran scalped a four-for against New Zealand in the quarter-final match and his final figures were 4/14. Afghanistan though lost the semi-final to Australia.
One of the finest performances from the youngster came in October last year where he bagged a total of 7 wickets in a one day match while playing for Afghanistan U-19 against Bangladesh U-19. He ended the series with 17 wickets under his belt.
He was also the leading wicket-taker in 2017 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup leading Afghanistan to their first title.
