All-rounder Azhar Mahmood to stay on at Kent next season
Comments |
By Andrew Gidley
Kent have confirmed that Azhar
Mahmood will be with the county again next season.
The 35-year-old former Pakistan
all-rounder (pictured), who played 21 Tests and 143 one-day
internationals for his country, is contracted to play one-day
cricket for the county and on a 'pay as you play' basis in the
Championship.
A small staff and a long injury
list among the bowlers has increased Azhar’s involvement in
four-day cricket this summer and he proved Kent’s match-winner
against Essex on Sunday with a season’s best 5-62, following useful
contributions with the bat in both innings.
Chief executive Jamie Clifford
said: "Azhar will be back in 2011. He desperately wants to play for
Kent and win matches.
"He gives everything when he goes on the field, and bowled
beautifully against Essex."
Are you pleased Azhar Mahmood is staying with Kent next
season? Have your say below.
