YORKSHIRE have signed Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed for T20 subject to him obtaining a visa.

Sarfraz is due to play the final five group games as a replacement overseas player for Peter Handscomb, who will leave after Sunday’s match against Notts at Trent Bridge to attend a training camp ahead of Australia’s tour to Bangladesh.

Shaun Marsh, the club’s other T20 overseas player, will stand in for Handscomb in the remaining five County Championship fixtures.
