Zafar Shahaan Ansari (born 10 December 1991) is an English cricketer who plays for Surrey County Cricket Club. A spin-bowling all-rounder, he bowls left-arm orthodox spin, and bats left-handed. He made his Surrey debut against Sussex in September 2010 in a List A match,[1] before making his first-class debut for Cambridge MCCU against Essex in April 2011.[2] He had what are currently his best bowling figures of 5-33 in only his third first-class match, for Cambridge MCCU against his own county of Surrey, Kevin Pietersen being among his victims.[3]
He scored his maiden first-class century in 2014, for Surrey against Derbyshire.[4] In Surrey's next first-class match, against Leicestershire, he had his first 5-wicket haul for the county with figures of 5-93.[5]
Ansari went to Hampton School in the London Borough of Richmond, and came through the Surrey academy system, having represented the county before he turned nine and also representing England at U15 (a team he also captained), U17 and U19 level. He has an older brother, Akbar Ansari.
