Player: | Inzamam-ul-Haq |
DateLine: 16th August 2007
Pakistan's former skipper Inzamam-ul-Haq is to play for Yorkshire for the rest of this season, the English county side announced on Thursday.
 
The 37-year-old batsman will replace international team-mate Younus Khan, who is leaving to link up with Pakistan ahead of next month's ICC World Twenty20 in South Africa. 
A statement on the county's website read: "Yorkshire have stated their determination to maintain their challenge for the Championship title in the strongest possible terms by signing former Pakistan Test captain Inzamam-ul-Haq." 
The agreement is subject to approval by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). 
Inzamam stood down as captain of his country and brought the curtain down on his one-day international career after Pakistan's ignominious exit from the World Cup. 
He has stated his desire to continue as a Test player, but was not handed a new contract by the PCB this year. 
"His involvement with Yorkshire means that his first-class career is still very much alive," the Yorkshire statement added. 
Inzamam has played 119 Tests for his country and 378 ODIs.(Article: Copyright © 2007 AFP)
