Leicestershire sign Pakistan batter & ex-Yorkshire captain Shan Masood

London, Mar 18 (UNI) Leicestershire have signed former Yorkshire captain Shan Masood for all formats of the upcoming season.
The 35-year-old Pakistan international finds himself back in Division Two of the County Championship with the Foxes having helped Yorkshire to promotion last season.
The middle-order batter has amassed more than 25,000 runs for club and country across all
formats since first making his first-class debut in 2007, the BBC reported.
Masood, who also previously played for Leicestershire's regional rivals Derbyshire, will miss the start of the County Championship campaign as it overlaps with the commitments he has in the Pakistan Super League.
He will join the Foxes for the beginning of the T20 Blast in May.
Leicestershire director of cricket Claude Henderson said Masood was "a proven talent" who can
"win matches" in both red and white ball competitions.
"His leadership and experience will be invaluable to the team both on and off the pitch," Henderson told the club website., external
Masood said he felt he was joining Leicestershire at an "exciting time", with the club challenging for promotion in the County Championship last season and winning the One-Day Cup a year earlier.
"The club has been very competitive in all formats and produced some fantastic young players over the last few years," he said.
