Born in Huddersfield, Safyaan Sharif made his debut for Scotland at 20 after eye-catching performances for Dunfermline and Scotland U-19s, and took 4 for 27 against the Netherlands in his first ODI in 2011. With 14 wickets at 23.92 apiece, his fast-medium bowling played an important part in Scotland's success in the World Cup Qualifiers in New Zealand in 2014.
In March 2018, during the 2018 Cricket World Cup Qualifier tied match against Zimbabwe at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, he took his first five-wicket haul in ODIs and his 5 for 33 won him the man of the match award.
He played for Derbyshire in the 2018 Royal London One-Day Cup and T20 Blast tournaments.
