Ayesha Zafar

Ayesha Zafar is a technically gifted, elegant right-handed opening batter who has been a prominent feature in the Pakistan women’s national cricket team’s top-order setups. Born on April 13, 1994, in Sialkot, she earned her way into the national spotlight through prolific, heavy run-scoring across the domestic circuit. Known for her strong fundamentals, excellent driving ability, and capability to anchor an innings, Zafar made her formal international debut for Pakistan in December 2015 during a Twenty20 International against New Zealand, quickly followed by her One Day International (ODI) debut against the same opponents.

Throughout her international career, Zafar has proven to be a highly resilient top-order anchor, representing Pakistan across marquee events like the 2017 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup in England. She has accumulated over 50 international appearances, highlighted by a magnificent career-best ODI knock of 56 against New Zealand and a top WT20I score of 41 against the West Indies. In the domestic arena, she remains a powerhouse and a highly sought-after senior asset, leading from the front for teams like the PCB Dynamites and various regional sides. Equipped with deep tactical experience and a robust big-match temperament, Zafar continues to serve as a reliable, class-driven batting option looking to spearhead top-order fortunes on the big stage.
