Saad Bin Zafar, a Pakistani-Canadian cricketer, is widely recognized as one of Canada's most dependable players. Born on November 10, 1986, in Gujranwala, Punjab, Pakistan, Zafar is a left-handed all-rounder who bowls slow left-arm orthodox spin. He has represented Canada since his debut in 2008 and is currently the captain of Canada's T20I squad.

Zafar's journey to cricket stardom began in Lahore, where he played tape-ball cricket and idolized Wasim Akram. At the age of 17, he moved to Canada to pursue his education and eventually settled in the country. Throughout his career, Zafar has faced ups and downs, including premature calls to the national team and subsequent drops.

Despite these challenges, he has managed to establish himself as a consistent performer across all formats of the game. In franchise cricket, he gained prominence through the Global T20 Canada tournament, where he made his breakthrough in the 2018 final by taking 2 wickets for 26 runs and scoring an unbeaten 79. Zafar's performance on the field has been supported by his family, who have shown unwavering support throughout his cricketing journey.

In 2022, he was appointed captain of Canada's T20I squad, further cementing his position as a key figure in Canadian cricket.
