Dhruv Parashar (born 20 December 2004) is an Indian-born cricketer who plays for the United Arab Emirates national cricket team, as an all-rounder.[1]
Early life and education
[edit]Parashar was born in Pune in India.[2] He attended Wellington School, Somerset, where he played for the school's 1st XI cricket team.
Career
[edit]Parashar was selected for the 2023 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup, where the UAE team finished runners-up, defeating Pakistan in the semi-finals before losing to Bangladesh in the final.[3][4] Shortly after this tournament, he was selected for his senior T20I debut in the home series against Afghanistan. He made his ODI debut in November 2024 during the Tri-Nation Series in Oman (also involving Netherlands) as part of the 2024-2026 Cricket World Cup League 2. Although he was out for 5 runs opening the innings, he claimed 2/16 in his 10 overs on debut. He also holds a global record of opening the batting and bowling in the same match. He is the first and youngest cricketer to do so. [5]
In January 2023, Parashar was selected by the Desert Vipers as an injury replacement player for Ronak Panoly during the inaugural International League T20 tournament.[6] However, he did not make his debut for Desert Vipers until the 2024/25 ILT20 tournament. He played 6 games for the franchise that season.
In January 2026, Parashar was named in UAE's squad for the 2026 T20 World Cup.[7]
