Born on March 13, 1993, in Norway, Rohollah Ahmadzai’s journey to becoming a professional cricketer is as remarkable as it is inspiring. Growing up in a country not traditionally known for its cricket prowess, Ahmadzai had an instant affinity for the game, echoing through the silent corners of Norwegian sports clubs. His formative years saw him perfecting his right-arm fast-medium deliveries in local parks, far removed from the grandeur of international stadiums, yet it was here that a promising career began to take shape.

Rohollah's break came when he caught the attention of talent scouts during a local tournament in Oslo.
