DUBAI: Jonathan Figy has been in sensational form while leading the Gulf Giants Development at the DP World ILT20 Development Tournament. The 24-year-old has amassed 180 runs in four matches, including three half-centuries, taking the team to two wins in four matches.

The UAE-born cricketer has showcased both his value to the team and highlighted his ambition to make a return to the national side.
“Three 50s in four games feels good, especially against strong bowling attacks,” Figy said. “I’m happy to get runs and contribute to the team. Conditions haven’t been easy with movement under lights. There has been a bit for the spinners as well, but I’ve applied myself and it’s paying off. Hopefully, I’ll continue getting some big innings.”
The left-hander has already represented the UAE, having played two ODIs for the senior side. He also holds the distinction of being the UAE’s first and only U19 World Cup centurion, achieved in the 2020 edition that also saw India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal finish as the tournament’s top scorer.
