A season that turned heads, without making noise
In a domestic circuit full of bigger names and louder reputations, Azan Awais has emerged through something simpler yet rarer: scoring consistently, with poise and minimal attention. He’s not trending on social media, but those who follow domestic cricket know the name — and lately, it’s been appearing at the very top of the scorecards.
A strong run in the President’s Trophy
Playing for Eshaal Associates in the 2024–25 President’s Trophy, Azan turned heads with:
- 578 runs in seven matches
- 2 centuries, three fifties
No dramatic fireworks—just dependable, composed batting that cemented innings and delivered results.
Dominating the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy
If the President’s Trophy was promising, Azan’s performance in the Quaid‑e‑Azam Trophy was definitive. He ended the tournament as the leading run‑scorer, racking up:
- 844 runs in 8 matches
- 4 centuries, two fifties
- Average above 76
In a competition known for testing players across all conditions, Azan’s numbers weren’t just impressive — they were hard-earned. Whether facing the new ball or batting through the middle overs, he rarely looked out of place.
Words from the player himself
Reflecting on his breakthrough season, Azan said:
“I’ve enjoyed my first outing in the Quaid‑e‑Azam Trophy and learned a lot from this experience. The team management and senior players have been supportive. Scoring runs for my team in various conditions has boosted my confidence.”

This short statement offers a clear glimpse into his mindset — composed, focused, and team-first.
Well-deserved recognition — Shaheen’s call-up
Azan’s domestic dominance earned him a spot in the Pakistan Shaheens squad for the England tour in mid-2025. Alongside Maaz Sadaqat, he was one of the top performers of the season, not just in numbers, but in the kind of consistency selectors value.
This wasn’t luck or hype. It was earned—every run, every innings.
What sets him apart?
It’s Azan’s approach that stands out most. He’s not playing for highlight reels or fast fame. He’s playing to anchor innings, to read the bowlers, to build through pressure. He bats with intent and patience. In modern cricket, where quick-fire knocks get attention, that discipline stands out — and it wins matches.
Final thoughts
Azan Awais may not be Pakistan cricket’s loudest name yet, but he’s one of the most reliable—a model of consistency in an unpredictable game. With technique, temperament, and hunger, he’s positioning himself as a player worth tracking.
Quietly but surely, Azan Awais is building a career that could last — and matter.
