Pakistan County Championship round-up: Abbas and Masood make their marks

Pakistan

Naseem Shah
A young, tearaway Pakistan quick signing up for a full season at an English county to hone his skills and learn the craft? Naseem Shah at Gloucestershire has a very 1990s feel about it. He’s arriving at a good moment in his career, off the back of being, arguably, Pakistan’s best bowler in the Tests against Australia. But a shoulder injury in his first county outing restricted him to just 11 overs in the game (and none in the second innings), a reminder that for all the excitement, young fast bowlers remain fragile things. His best contribution was, in fact, with the bat, an 80-run partnership with James Bracey in the first innings keeping Gloucestershire in the game.
