Mohammad Shahzad Mohammadi (Pashto: محمد شهزاد محمدي; born 10 January 1988) is an Afghan cricketer who has represented his country in all three international formats. He is a right-handed opening batsman and a wicketkeeper. He made his international debut for Afghanistan in August 2009 against the Netherlands.[1]

Shahzad was one of the eleven cricketers to play in Afghanistan's first Test match, against India, in June 2018. Shahzad also has a rare record - scoring an ODI hundred in the lowest team score - by reaching an ODI century at a point when Afghanistan's score (against India in the Asia Cup 2018) was just 131,[2][3] thus equalling Pakistan's Shahid Afridi's previous record.[4]
