Izatullah Dawlatzai (born 10 May 1991) is an Afghan-German cricketer who has played international cricket for both Afghanistan and Germany. He is a right-handed batsman who bowls right-arm medium-fast.
Dawlatzai started representing Afghanistan in age-group cricket, which culminated in the Afghanistan Under-19 cricket team qualifying, for the first time, for the 2010 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup in New Zealand. Dawlatzai represented the team in all their matches during the tournament.[1]
His debut for the senior team came in a first-class match against Kenya in the 2009-10 ICC Intercontinental Cup. In that match he took his maiden first-class wicket, that of Collins Obuya.[2] Following the first-class match, he made his One Day International debut against Kenya in the 2nd ODI. In what was also his maiden List-A match, he took the wickets of Seren Waters and Collins Obuya for 37 runs.[3]
Dawlatzai relocated to Germany to join his fiancée, who was born in Germany but is of Afghan descent. They live in Hamburg.[4] In 2017, Dawlatzai was invited to play for Marylebone Cricket Club on its tour of Germany as a special guest.[5] He plays for KSV Cricket Club in Germany. In 2018, he met the residency qualifications for the national team and was selected in the squad for a series against Denmark in July 2018.[6] He was also selected in the squad for 2018-19 ICC World Twenty20 Europe Qualifier and took 2/10 in the first game against Cyprus.[7]
In May 2019, he was named in Germany's Twenty20 International (T20I) squad for their three-match series against Belgium. The matches were the first T20Is to be played by the German cricket team.[8] He made his T20I debut for Germany against Belgium on 11 May 2019[9] and became the eighth cricketer to play T20 internationals for 2 countries. Later the same month, he was named in Germany's squad for the Regional Finals of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier tournament in Guernsey.[10] [11]
