He was among the top three run scorers in the ILT20 Development Tournament, showing his value as a batting contributor alongside his primary bowling role.

ILT20 Development Record

Raees Ahmed Ayan was among the top three run scorers in the ILT20 Development Tournament. His Development Tournament performances across both batting and bowling earned him main squad consideration with Sharjah Warriorz for the main ILT20 tournament.

ILT20 Season 5 Context

Sharjah Warriorz play home matches at Sharjah Cricket Stadium. The ground has the shortest boundaries of the three ILT20 venues, which means medium-fast bowlers like Ayan must be particularly disciplined with their lines because width or length errors are punished immediately by the aggressive batters that feature in every ILT20 team. His Development Tournament performances at this same ground give him familiarity with the conditions before main tournament appearances.

Playing Style at UAE Venues

Ayan bowls right-arm medium fast and bats right-handed. At Sharjah Cricket Stadium, his medium-fast pace provides a different option from the spinners who are also effective at the ground. His Development Tournament run-scoring shows he can contribute with the bat in the lower order when the team needs late-innings acceleration in addition to his bowling contributions.
