Ahmed Daniyal

Ahmed Daniyal (born 3 July 1997) is a Pakistani cricketer.

Domestic and franchise career He made his Twenty20 debut on 21 February 2021, for Lahore Qalandars in the 2021 Pakistan Super League.

He was part of the Lahore Qalandars' Players Development Program.

International career In his international debut during the second T20I in Bangladesh in July 2025, Daniyal made an immediate impact by bowling four overs for 23 runs and claiming two wickets. Most notably, he clocked a velocity of 146 km/h in his first over, prompting comparisons with Pakistan’s legendary speedster Shoaib Akhtar.

In November 2025, in the final of the Asia Cup Rising Stars between Pakistan Shaheens and Bangladesh A, Daniyal delivered a standout bowling performance. With precise and disciplined seam bowling, he claimed a match-winning haul (figures of 2/11 with an economy rate of 2.75) that stifled Bangladesh A’s chase and turned the momentum decisively in Pakistan’s favour. He later bowled the Super Over, conceding only 6 runs (including 5 wides) and taking both wickets, thus setting a low target of 7 for the Shaheens. For his contribution he was declared Player of the Match.
