Northamptonshire have bolstered their pace-bowling resources with the addition of Muhammad Azhar Ullah on a one-year contract.

The 29-year-old, a Pakistan-born UK resident, has played 53 first-class matches and claimed 190 wickets at an impressive average of just 26.51.

Northants head coach David Ripley said: “We are pleased that Azhar has decided to join us as he will provide proven first-class quality in the seam-bowling department, providing healthy competition for places.

“He bowls with good pace and, having learnt his trade in Pakistan, has developed ways of getting batsmen out on flat sub continent pitches.”
