Born on 7th December 2004 in the United Arab Emirates, Ammar Badami embarked on his cricket journey as a young, ambitious allrounder whose talent was evident from an early age. Growing up in a nation not primarily known for its cricketing prowess, Ammar’s ascent to the professional ranks is a story of determination and sheer skill.
From the dusty pitches of Dubai, Ammar honed his cricketing craft with a youthful enthusiasm, showcasing a proclivity for both batting and bowling from the time he could hold a bat.

It was not long before his exceptional performances caught the eye of regional selectors, and Ammar soon found himself donning the national colours of the UAE.
Making his professional debut at 17, Ammar quickly set the stage alight with his allround performances. His breakthrough came during the 2022 associate nations’ cricket championship, where his contributions with both bat and ball led the UAE to an improbable victory.

Throughout his burgeoning career, Ammar has played numerous notable matches, including a memorable ODI against Afghanistan where his deft manoeuvring in the middle overs and partnerships were instrumental in a historic win for the UAE. His spirited rivalry with emerging players from fellow associate nations has also become a talking point, adding a new layer of excitement to these contests.
Ammar’s style is characterised by a calm, calculated approach to batting, sharpened by his ability to accelerate the pace when required. His offspin, subtle yet effective, often provides crucial breakthroughs. Fellow cricketers and fans admire his composure under pressure and his innate ability to adapt to varying match situations.
