Samiullah Shenwari Biography

Shenwari has been a lynchpin in the Afghanistan team. His rise in the world of cricket in the recent years has been worth documenting for the whole world to follow. He made his ODI debut in 2009, scoring 52, 27 and 39* in his first three outings.

However, the highest point of his career has certainly been the Scotland match in World Cup 2015. He came into the match with innings of 42 and 38 under his belt, and saw his side slide to 97 for 7 chasing 211. His ice-cool 96 ensured an Afghanistan win in the last over — their first in World Cup cricket. Soon afterwards he scored 54 against New Zealand.

Amidst all this one should not forget his leg-breaks that are more accurate than penetrating, a 5 for 13 against Kenya in 2013 being his maiden five-for.
