Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Najibullah made his ODI debut against Ireland in July 2012 and scored 23 runs in his first game. His T20I debut came against India in September 2012 in the T20 World Cup.
Najibullah has been a good servant of the game for Afghanistan. Even though, he has failed to convert starts into big scores, Najibullah's current form is good. Courtesy of his exploits, Najib as he is fondly known among his team-mates was included in the Afghanistan squad for the ICC cricket World Cup 2015 in Australia and New Zealand.
He failed to replicate his successful run at the mega event scoring a modest 123 runs in 6 matches at an average of 24.60. The hard-hitting batsman was subsequently dropped from the national side.
Najibullah went back to First-Class cricket and honed his skills. In 2016, he slammed a 35-ball 60 in his comeback game against UAE which helped Afghanistan qualify for the main draw of the Asia Cup in Bangladesh.
It was no looking back for him since then as he became one of the mainstays of Afghanistan's batting. In 2017, he was announced the skipper of Afghanistan A for the tri-series in the rainbow nation involving India and hosts South Africa.
He lived up to his billing with a couple of fifties. Najibullah was included in the BPL draft for 2017 and Chittagong Vikings signed him up.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Najibullah Zadran packs a punch with his bellicose left-hand batting, despite his slight frame. He has followed the same tried and tested route to the national side as many of his generation that came after the initial Afghan cricketing pioneers, with age-group cricket preparing him for the big stage. His ODI debut, against Ireland in Dublin in 2012, was possibly a little premature but Zadran's batting turned a corner in 2014 and he started to look more at home. In July, his second-innings 99 helped Afghanistan beat a strong Zimbabwe A side in an unofficial Test, and in November his unbeaten 32-ball 60 helped set up a 54-run win over Pakistan A in a Twenty match. He started 2015 well with a maiden ODI fifty, a boundary-laden 83 against Ireland, and cruised into Afghanistan's World Cup squad.
