Pakistan star Naseem Shah set for Gloucestershire bow in season opener but Harris must wait

Naseem Shah Gloucestershire Marcus Harris Pakistan County Championship Leicestershire

Excitement is building at the County Ground ahead of the arrival of Pakistan fast-bowler Naseem Shah, who could make his Gloucestershire bow in the season opener against Northamptonshire.

The 19-year-old is set to fly to the UK next week after taking part in a hard-fought three-Test series against Australia, sure to bring an X-factor to the Glos attack if he makes his debut at Wantage Road on April 7.

Naseem made his Pakistan debut as a 16-year-old, with his express pace making him one of the most intriguing prospects in world cricket. He also holds the record for the youngest player to take a Test hat-trick, skittling the Bangladesh middle-order en route to an innings victory in 2020.
