Shan Masood to play T20 match against India

Pakistan’s left-handed batter Shan Masood is to play a T20 match versus India on July 1st, representing the county club Derbyshire Cricket Club.

The player is linked up with the Club for all formats in this year’s county season. He made his debut for the Club this week, falling short of nine runs in his century.

His availability will not be affected because the national team does not have any international fixtures during the first week of July.

The men in blue will travel to England for a red-ball match, three 50-over matches and three twenty-over fixtures. India are scheduled to play two warm-up T20 games against Derbyshire and Northamptonshire on July 1 and 3. 

In a press release, Derbyshire stated,

“India will travel to The Incora County Ground to face Derbyshire in a Twenty20 Tour Fixture on Friday 1 July,”

“The number-one ranked T20 side in the world will continue their ICC Twenty20 World Cup preparations against a Derbyshire side, which includes the likes of Pakistan international, Shan Masood, and former Sri Lanka fast bowler, Suranga Lakmal,”
