No return to Gloucestershire for Naseem Shah

14 June 2022

Naseem Shah will not be returning to Gloucestershire this season. The Pakistan pace bowler recently returned home to spend time with his family after his father was sadly taken ill. The Club is delighted to hear that Naseem’s father is feeling better, but a hastily arranged Pakistan Cricket Board training camp means that Naseem cannot now return to the Seat Unique Stadium.

Steve Snell, Performance Director at Gloucestershire Cricket, said: "It has been great to have Naseem as part of the Gloucestershire environment. He has shown incredible dedication and work ethic, despite some small issues meaning he couldn’t take the field as much as he and we would have liked, but nonetheless it has been brilliant to have him with us and hopefully he has enjoyed his time here.

It has been great to see him develop as a young man - his English has improved immensely, which is something he should be very proud of. He is a very popular member of the squad, and we very much hope to see him back playing in Bristol in the years to come."
