Afaq Ahmed (born 7 January 1990) is a Pakistani former cricketer. Born in Malakand, North-West Frontier Province, he was a right-arm medium-fast bowler.[1][2]
Ahmed made his List A debut for Peshawar Panthers against Lahore Lions in the ABN-AMRO Cup in March 2008.[3] In August 2008, he was named in Peshawar's squad for the Inter-region Under-19 tournament.[4] The following month, playing for NIB Bank in the AKU Twenty20 Ramazan cricket tournament, he took 3 wickets for 19 runs against Saudi Pak Bank and was named player of the match.[5] He made his first-class debut for Peshawar against Multan in February 2009.[1]
In December 2013, Ahmed and Azam Khan shared a last-wicket partnership of 95 for Peshawar against Karachi Blues, with Ahmed making what was then a career-best 34 not out.[6] Earlier in the same season, he had taken 3 wickets for 62 runs in Peshawar's match against Rawalpindi.[7] During the 2013–14 One Day Cup, a century from Adil Amin followed by incisive bowling from Ahmed and Azam Khan helped Peshawar Panthers rout Sialkot Stallions by 168 runs.[8] He made his only Twenty20 appearance for Peshawar Panthers against Islamabad Leopards in the 2013–14 National T20 Cup, scoring 6 not out and bowling three overs.[9]
Ahmed later played first-class and List A cricket for National Bank of Pakistan. In September 2016, he was named in the bank's squad for the 2016–17 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.[10]
