Noor Ahmad

Noor Ahmad is a phenomenal young talent from Afghanistan who has rapidly established himself as one of the most exciting left-arm wrist spinners in global T20 cricket. Often drawing comparisons to his compatriots Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman, he possesses a rare ability to deceive batters with a high-speed, unorthodox action that makes him a difficult proposition even on the world’s most batting-friendly surfaces. His rapid rise saw him become the youngest player in Big Bash League history at just 15 years old, and he has since become a fixture in elite leagues worldwide, including the IPL, where he has consistently proven his capacity to dismantle top-order lineups under immense pressure.

In the 2026 season of The Hundred, Noor Ahmad joins the Manchester Super Giants, bringing his world-class spin wizardry to the squad’s bowling attack. His inclusion adds a vital 'mystery' element to the team, offering his captain a potent weapon to pick up crucial wickets during the middle overs and stifle scoring momentum. With his proven pedigree in high-stakes franchise environments—including a standout 2025 season where he finished as a leading wicket-taker—Noor is poised to be a game-changer for the Super Giants. His ability to deliver both control and game-defining breakthroughs makes him an indispensable figure as the franchise looks to mount a serious title challenge.
