English County Championship Schedule for Round 3 Featuring Pakistani Stars
The 3rd round of the English County Championship 2022 is expected to start on 21 April; as many as 9 Pakistani cricketers are likely to participate in thrilling action.
Whereas the talents of Shan Masood, Hasan Ali, Zafar Gohar, and Haris Rauf will be trying to maintain their rich vein of confidence, seasoned campaigners Mohammad Rizwan, Azhar Ali, and Mohammad Abbas will be seeking to recover their form.
Middlesex has gained a significant boost as probably the finest all-format bowler in international cricket today, Shaheen Shah Afridi, has rejoined their side ahead of the 3rd round. Shaheen is likely to make his debuts when Middlesex takes on Glamorgan.
Pakistan’s young speed wonder, Naseem Shah, is destined to make his recovery after struggling from an injury in England’s opening encounter of the championship. His presence will bolster the club after dropping their 2nd round encounter against Yorkshire.
Hasan Ali made a good start for Lancashire. In the encounter, he claimed five wickets as they won their inaugural match by ten wickets. He will now face his colleagues Zafar Gohar and Naseem Shah when Lancashire takes on Gloucestershire.
Azhar Ali and Mohammad Rizwan will face one another when Sussex plays Worcestershire in the 2nd level of the County Championship.
