When Saif Ali Zaib made his debut for Northamptonshire, in 2014, during a non-first-class fixture at Durham, he became the first 15-year-old to represent the county. He is an occasional left-arm spinner who is better known for being a middle-order bat. Ahead of the 2015 season, Zaib signed a three-year contract with Northants and has been with the club since then.

He made his List A debut for the county in 2014 against New Zealand. The next season, he represented England Under-17 to score three fifties against Pakistan Under-17, in Dubai. Later that season, he was picked to make his first-class debut in the County Championship Division Two.
