Ollie Robinson and Grant Stewart combined to help Kent force an unlikely draw on the final day of their LV= Insurance County Championship Division 1 clash at Yorkshire on Sunday.
The ongoing County Championship has seen some tremendous performances, especially from Asian players. While India's Cheteshwar Pujara has been producing magic with the bat, fast bowlers from Pakistan are breathing fire and causing havoc for the opposition batters. Hasan Ali and Shaheen Shah Afridi have been grabbing eyeballs through some sterling performances and now Haris Rauf too has joined the party. Playing for Yorkshire, Haris Rauf took a fifer to help his team bowl out Kent for 291 in the first innings. Among his five wickets was a ferocious toe-crushing yorker that sent the batter hopscotching back to the pavilion.
Jasprit Bumrah and Shaheen Shah Afridi are two of the modern-day great pacers and whenever they have the ball in hand, the batters cannot breathe easy. Both bowlers have the capability of making their sides win on their own and these two are the vital cogs of their respective teams' bowling attacks. Former Pakistan pacer Aaqib Javed, however, has said that Bumrah has "fewer threatening performances" than Shaheen and the latter's graph is on the rise.
Speedster Umran Malik's rise has been pretty meteoric in Indian cricket. He got a chance in the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise SunRisers Hyderabad in 2021 before he made his First-Class debut for Jammu and Kashmir. His fiery pace impressed all as he was retained by the franchise ahead of the IPL 2022 season. He has repaid the faith by taking 10 wickets in seven matches. However, more than his number of wickets, it is Malik's express pace that has forced everyone to stand up and take note of the 22-year-old.
Pakistan put in some superlative performances to get the better of the visiting Australia team in the three-match ODI series. Pakistan skipper Babar Azam led from the front, scoring two centuries and a fifty, amassing 276 runs in the series at an average of 138 and a strike-rate of 102.22. Big Bash League teams seem to have taken notice of his impressive outings against Australia, and surely Babar Azam would be in high demand for the next season of the BBL. Following Pakistan's series win over Australia, the official handle of the BBL had a question for the Twitter universe.
Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan has signed to play for Yorkshire in the Twenty20 Blast, the English county announced Friday. The 23-year-old leg-spinner will be available for the club's first five and last six fixtures of the domestic T20 competition. Shadab has represented Pakistan in all three international formats, including 64 Twenty20s where he has taken 73 wickets and boasts a batting strike-rate of 136.81. Subject to obtaining international clearance, he will now join Pakistan team-mate Haris Rauf at Yorkshire, with the fast bowler available for the first five matches of the Blast. "Shadab Khan is someone who can bat at the top, bat in the middle order and hits the ball a long way," said Darren Gough, Yorkshire's interim managing director of cricket. "He is also an unbelievable spinner," the former England fast bowler added.

Faheem, who also missed the first Test due to a fitness issue, arrived with the home squad and was forced into a five-day isolation after returning a positive test.
