He's done pretty well in his short career so far, BPL and PSL teams are reportedly interested in signing him.

Beautiful. Just like Kuldeep.

So hard to hit these guys and those googlies are deadly.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Give Afghanistan around 5 years and they'll be a team with great potential to beat good sides.

I'd love to see him and Rashid Khan together playing for Afghanistan. That spin bowling duo would really push most teams in world cricket.

 

[Bewal Express]

Looks decent but some of the batting against him was atrocious.

 

[ExpressPacer]

A lot of wrist spinners but not a single fast bowler that can be mentioned amongst even the mediocre bowlers of the world.

Another "18" year old who looks 28..

He is good prospect for tests.

 

[Specialisttailender]

Beautiful. Just like Kuldeep.

So hard to hit these guys and those googlies are deadly.

I wouldn't compare him with Kuldeep, Kuldeep doesn't turn the ball as much.

 

[Saj]

Heard good things about this lad.

Afghanistan producing some decent cricketers.

There is another spinner. I think he is off spinner. More exciting in my opinion. His name is Mujeeb.

Zahir Khan: Lancashire sign Afghanistan left-arm wrist spinner

Lancashire have signed Afghanistan left-arm wrist spinner Zahir Khan until the end of the season.

The 19-year-old has played eight T20s and taken 15 wickets at an average of 13.53 and 34 wickets at 13.14 in seven first-class games.

He helped Afghanistan reach the Under-19 World Cup semi-final in 2016.

"He is an exciting prospect and gives us another option with the ball," Lancashire head coach Glen Chapple told the club website.

Zahir added: "It's always been an ambition of mine to play county cricket in England to test myself against some of the world's best players."

Lancashire resume their T20 Blast campaign at home to Durham on Tuesday.

The Red Rose county currently sit fourth in the north table with five matches remaining.

Earlier today I was wondering where he had disappeared to.

Complete coincidence!

 

[mak36]

Played 3 matches in the T20 Blast so far and it's fair to say he's pretty raw.

He got Kane Williamson with a beauty but he lacks any sort of control.

He also starts bowling way too quickly after he gets hit.

Plenty to work with.
