Azan Awais (born 10 October 2004) is a Pakistani cricketer who began playing first-class cricket for Sialkot in the 2024–25 season.[1]
Awais was born in Sialkot. A left-handed opening batsman, he represented Sialkot in under-age cricket before being selected for the Pakistan Under-19 team. In October 2023 he scored 104 for Pakistan in an Under-19 Test against Sri Lanka,[2] and he later played in the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2023–24, where he equal-top-scored in the semi-final against Australia.[3]
Awais made his first-class debut in the 2024–25 Quaid-e-Azam Trophy. In his third match he scored 130, putting on 312 for the opening stand with Ashir Mehmood against Dera Murad Jamali.[4] Later, in Sialkot's two matches in the triangular stage, he scored 203 not out (when he batted throughout Sialkot's innings of 410 all out), 168 and 121 in his three innings.[5][6] Sialkot won the final, and he was the tournament's highest scorer, with 844 runs from eight matches and an average of 76.73.[7]
In January 2025, in the first match of the 2024–25 President's Trophy, playing for Eshaal Associates in their inaugural first-class match, Awais made 69 and 119, and Eshaal Associates won by 192 runs. He thus brought up his 1,000th run in his ninth first-class match.[8]
