Middlesex have signed Pakistan fast bowler Junaid Khan to play for One-Day Cup as a replacement overseas player for Joe Burns.
According to foreign media reports Angus Fraser, Middlesex’s director expressed their pleasure to have Junaid in the team. “We are delighted to have got a bowler of Junaid’s quality at such short notice”.
“I would like to thank the Pakistan Cricket Board for their help in getting this deal through. With over 80 international appearances and over 150 international wickets he will bring variety, experience and further quality to our bowling attack. His time with Lancashire means he has experience of English conditions. His presence will ease the workload on our main seamers too,” he added.
Junaid Khan has previously played county cricket with Lancashire between 2011 and 2014. He has played 22 Tests, 52 one-day internationals and nine Twenty20 games for his country and has not played since Pakistan’s defeat to Sri Lanka in the Colombo Test last month.
