Jehan Mubarak (born January 10, 1981 in Washington, DC, United States) is an American-born Sri Lankan cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman with a wide range of strokes and a right-arm offbreak bowler.
Mubarak was rushed into the 2003 Sri Lankan World Cup Squad despite having played only a couple of first class games. He was a prolific run scorer in school cricket.
He has failed, however, to perform up to his potential in a relatively short career. His poor performances have continued since his debut at the 2003 World Cup, where he was put in to bat at number three. He subsequently reinvented himself as an opener.
Mubarak is one of only two Test cricketers born in the U.S., the other being the West Indian Ken Weekes.
In February 2006, Mubarak was fined after showing dissent towards an umpire in an ODI against Bangladesh [1]
In August 2007, following man-of-the-match performances against Bangladesh,[2] he was rushed into the Sri Lankan Twenty20 squad after the departures of Marvan Atapattu and Russel Arnold. He performed admirably during this tournament, which included a thirteen-ball 46 against Kenya.
