Zafar Shahaan Ansari (Urdu: ظفر انصاری‎; born 10 December 1991) is an English cricketer who plays for Surrey County Cricket Club. A spin-bowling all-rounder, he bowls left-arm orthodox spin, and bats left-handed.

Domestic Career

He made his Surrey debut against Sussex in September 2010 in a List A match,[1] before making his first-class debut for Cambridge MCCU against Essex in April 2011.[2] He had bowling figures of 5-33 in only his third first-class match, for Cambridge MCCU against his own county of Surrey, Kevin Pietersen being among his victims.[3]

He scored his maiden first-class century in 2014, for Surrey against Derbyshire.[4] In Surrey's next first-class match, against Leicestershire, he had his first 5-wicket haul for the county with figures of 5-93.[5]

International Career

He made his One Day International debut for England against Ireland on 8 May 2015.[6] On 15 September 2015 he was announced as a member of the 16-man England squad visiting the United Arab Emirates the following month to play three Tests against Pakistan.[7] However on the same day that the announcement was made he dislocated his thumb when fielding against Lancashire and, as a result, was replaced in the England team by Samit Patel.[8]

Personal Life

Ansari is of Pakistani descent through his father, Professor Khizar Humayun Ansari, who migrated from Lahore, while his mother is English.[9] Ansari went to Hampton School in the London Borough of Richmond, and came through the Surrey academy system, having represented the county before he turned nine and also representing England at U15 (a team he also captained), U17 and U19 level. He has an older brother, Akbar Ansari.

He was awarded a double-first degree by Cambridge University, and is currently writing a 40,000 word dissertation on the 1960s American civil rights group, the Deacons for Defense and Justice.[10]
