WORCESTERSHIRE County Cricket Club have announced the signing of a Pakistan International bowler. 

Khurram Shahzad has signed on with the side on a deal that will see him join up with the team next month. 

The 25-year-old will be available to play in all formats up until the end of the season. 

"Joining a club like Worcestershire and getting the chance to enhance my skills, is something I am really excited by," said Shahzad. 

"I have always had ambitions to play in England, so this was a chance I was desperate to take.

"There is a lot of history at the club, but I am ready to get involved as soon as I can and hopefully help the team have a strong second-half of the season.

"I can’t wait to get started and hopefully contribute across all the different formats."
