Hamidullah Qadri (born 5 December 2000) is an Afghan-born English professional cricketer who has played for Kent County Cricket Club, Derbyshire and the England under-19 team.
Born in Afghanistan and moving to England with his family at the age of 10, Qadri made his first-class cricket debut for Derbyshire in June 2017, becoming the first player born in 2000 to appear in the County Championship and Derbyshire's youngest ever first-class player.[1]
Hamidullah Qadri was born in Kandahar, Afghanistan, on 5 December 2000.[2][3] When he was aged one, his father left to find work in England due to the War in Afghanistan. The rest of the family were only able to follow and be reunited when Qadri was 10. Having been unfamiliar with cricket in Kandahar, Qadri developed an interest in the sport once the family had settled in Derby, learning about spin bowling from watching videos of famous players. At the age of 12, he was playing first team cricket for Alvaston & Boulton Cricket Club in the Derbyshire Premier Cricket League, alongside former New Zealand player Iain O'Brien. O'Brien nicknamed Qadri "The Magician" and became the youngster's mentor.[4]
