Karim Janat is an Afghan cricketer who fills the role of a bowling all-rounder. His main weapon is pace, as he is able to reach speeds of around 140 on a regular basis, and he backs that up with useful runs when batting in the lower middle order. He also has a family link to the national side: he is the younger brother of Asghar Afghan, who has captained Afghanistan.

Janat made his international debut in 2016 against the UAE in Dubai, and it was a memorable start. He claimed three important wickets and chipped in with a helpful innings lower down the batting card, helping Afghanistan to a win. His efforts with both bat and ball earned him the Man of the Match award in that first outing.
His record in first-class cricket points to real ability with both disciplines. Across roughly 15 matches at that level, he has averaged close to 45 with the bat, a tally that includes a double hundred, and he has taken more than 50 wickets. At the time these figures were recorded he was just 20 years old.
In international cricket, his appearances in the 50-over game have so far been limited to a single ODI. He has, however, featured in a fair number of matches in the shortest format, where his blend of pace bowling and lower-order hitting has given Afghanistan a useful option.
