At the end of the ninth round of the President's Trophy 2025, SNGPL’s Mohammad Ali (4/47 & 3/60) led his side to a 7-wicket win against Eshaal Associates.
 
Domestic and League bully.... He was not impressive at all when it came to internationals...
 
He has good control, decent speed and good variation. It’s unfair to judge him on the dead pitches of Pakistan (particularly pindi and Multan. Of course he has to perform anywhere he gets a chance but he has all the makings af a good line and length workhorse as a 3rd seamer.
 
Pakistan seamer Mohammad Ali has signed a short-term multi-format deal with Nottinghamshire for the final two months of the 2026 season

Ali, 33, is set to arrive at the start of August, and will be eligible for both the Rothesay County Championship and the Metro Bank One Day Cup until the end of the season.

In addition to snaring over 300 career wickets at an average of 24.65, he has appeared for his country in all formats, most recently in an ODI against New Zealand last March.

“I am really pleased to be joining Nottinghamshire,” said Ali. “I have always wanted to play county cricket and get experience of English conditions, so I am excited to have that chance.

“Trent Bridge is a really famous ground around the world, so I am really looking forward to playing there and helping Nottinghamshire to achieve success.”

Ali is already known to the Trent Bridge coaching staff, having formed an integral part of the Central Punjab side coached by Paul Franks during the 2022-23 Pakistani domestic campaign.

In that season’s Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, Pakistan’s domestic First-Class competition, Ali finished as the fifth-highest wicket-taker overall, returning 24 scalps at 25.54 apiece.

He furthered that by collecting six wickets in five matches, including 2/31 in the final, as Central Punjab lifted the nation’s domestic 50-over trophy, also under Franks’ tutelage.

“I really enjoyed working with Paul Franks in the past. I am looking forward to being able to work with him again, in different formats," Ali continued.

“Being able to play red-ball and white-ball cricket is exciting, and I am looking forward to helping the team at an important time in the season.”

Franks, Nottinghamshire’s Assistant Head Coach, added: “It was Mohammad’s character and personality that really hit home for me when I coached him while in Pakistan.

“That’s what’s kept him on our radar ever since, and I’ve kept a really strong relationship with him, from a distance.

“We speak regularly, and we’ve explored other opportunities to bring him to the club in the past, but this one felt like it was at a really good time for him and for us.

“He’s a real pleasure to coach, so I’m certainly looking forward to seeing him again later this year.”
