Antum Amir Naqvi (born 5 April 1999) is a Belgian-born Zimbabwean cricketer.[1]

Personal life

Naqvi was born in Brussels, Belgium. He was educated in Australia at The Hills Sports High School in Sydney.[2] He is a qualified commercial pilot. His younger brother Awad Naqvi plays for Tuskers.[3]

Domestic and T20 franchise career

Naqvi made his first-class cricket debut in Zimbabwe in January 2023, playing for Mid West Rhinos in the Logan Cup against Eagles. He scored 140 not out batting at number six, and took 4 for 22 in the first innings and another wicket and three catches in the second innings in an innings victory for Rhinos.[4] In his second match a few days later he scored 103 in Mid West Rhinos' only innings,[5] thus becoming the 21st person in the history of first-class cricket to score hundreds in his first two innings.[6] In the final match of the competition, Naqvi made a third century and took five wickets.[7]

Naqvi made his List A debut in October 2023. In his second match, two days after his first, he took 3 for 56 and scored 128 not out off 93 balls, finishing off the victory for Rhinos with an unbroken 202-run partnership with Tarisai Musakanda.[8] Since then Naqvi has scored two more List A 100s.

In January 2024, captaining Mid West Rhinos in the Logan Cup against Matabeleland Tuskers, Naqvi scored 300 not out off 295 deliveries before declaring at 538 for 3; Rhinos went on to win by an innings and 40 runs. It is the first triple-century in the history of Zimbabwean domestic cricket.[9][10]
