Mohammad Hassan Azad (born 7 January 1994) is an English cricketer who plays for Northamptonshire. He is a left handed opening batsman and an off-break bowler.[1]

Career[edit]

Azad began his career in the academy at Nottinghamshire. He made his first-class debut on 2 April 2015 for Loughborough MCCU against Hampshire.[2]

Having performed well for the second XI during 2018, in March 2019 Azad signed for Leicestershire County Cricket Club ahead of the 2019 County Championship.[3][4] He played in Leicestershire's match against Loughborough MCCU, in the Marylebone Cricket Club University fixtures, scoring his maiden first-class century.[5][6] His good form continued through the first half of the County Championship season, and he was voted PCA Player of the Month for June.[7] In August 2019, his performances were further rewarded when he was offered a further two-year contract.[8]

In March 2023, Northamptonshire announced the signing of Azad on a short-term deal.[9]
