Naseem Shah returns home to Pakistan due to family emergency
6 June 2022
Naseem Shah is to return home to Pakistan today (Monday 6 June) due to a family emergency.
Naseem’s father has taken ill and therefore Gloucestershire has allowed him to return home to spend as much time as he needs with his family during what is a difficult time for them.
We hope to have Naseem back with the first-team squad as soon as possible, and everyone at Gloucestershire Cricket sends Naseem and his family their best wishes.
Steve Snell, Performance Director at Gloucestershire Cricket, said: “We thoroughly support Naseem’s decision to return home to see his father. Of course we will miss him on the field, but Naseem’s wellbeing and the health of his loved ones far outweigh any cricketing priorities.
“We have loved having Naseem with us as part of the Gloucestershire family and we are looking forward to welcoming him back to us as soon as possible.
“Everyone at Gloucestershire cricket is thinking of Naseem and his family and sending our upmost support”.
