Born on 10th September 1987 in the culturally rich surroundings of Italy, Ahmad Raza Amjad’s journey to cricketing prominence was anything but conventional. In a country more renowned for football, Ahmad's early interest in cricket was sparked by a small expat community that thrived on their shared passion for the game. With no official training facilities, young Ahmad improvised, honing his skills with a tennis ball on the rugged backstreets and makeshift pitches, his cricketing dreams growing with every confident knock and delivery.

Making waves in domestic leagues, he rapidly positioned himself as a linchpin in team line-ups, capable of turning games with a crucial wicket or a resilient lower-order knock. His ability to adapt made him indispensable, and his reputation started to build well beyond the borders of Italy’s emerging cricket scene.

Among Ahmad's notable career highlights was his memorable performance in a high-stakes league final where his calculated 75 not out, coupled with a crucial three-wicket haul, not only led his team to victory but also showcased his knack for thriving under pressure. Ahmad's fierce rivalry with an equally adept all-rounder across multiple seasons added a competitive spice to the tournaments, drawing spectators and offering thrilling contests characterised by their mutual respect and strategic one-upmanship.

Throughout his career, Amjad’s impact was often measured by his cricketing intellect; his ability to read the game set him apart.
