Dawood Ejaz's journey into the world of cricket began like many aspiring young players—on the dusty pitches of the United Arab Emirates, where he was born on 1st January 2001. With a cricket bat almost as long as himself, young Dawood could often be found practising his shots under the scorching UAE sun, driven by a sheer love for the game that would shape his future.

His innate talent didn’t take long to surface. After impressing in local tournaments with his composed yet explosive batting, and having polished his technique against bowlers of varied skills, Dawood caught the eyes of regional selectors. Before long, he was donning the national colours, making his professional debut with a stirring performance that assured many he was a star in the making.

Dawood’s adaptable batting approach became his signature. Whether steering his team to safety or launching an all-out assault in the death overs, he wielded his bat with grace and aggression that made him a prized asset in varied match situations. His ability to read the game and shift gears accordingly earned him respect from teammates and adversaries alike. Dawood was not just a batsman, however; his versatile bowling, although not his primary role, often provided crucial breakthroughs, making him a reliable all-round presence on the field.

His career took a significant leap forward during the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup qualifiers, where Dawood's performances were nothing short of spectacular. A series of crucial innings helped his team secure a spot in the main event, with Dawood picking up the Player of the Tournament accolade. Rivalries were forged with neighbouring teams, but none as intense as his encounters with the Omani bowlers, where his controlled aggression was tested and honed.

One of the defining moments of Dawood's career came during a tense ODI series against a formidable Asian neighbour. With his team in dire straits during a deciding match, his century—a blend of defiance and determination—turned the tide and scripted a story of resilience and triumph.

His journey has been a testament to his cricketing prowess and mental fortitude. Dawood Ejaz continues to inspire many aspiring cricketers in the UAE, embodying the spirit of someone who not only plays for personal glory but contributes generously to the spirit and narrative of the sport.
