Pakistan international Tayyab Tahir has signed for Nottinghamshire, and will be available for the Outlaws\u2019 next three group-stage games in the Metro Bank One Day Cup.<\/p>\n
The right-hander has scored over 9,500 career runs, with 3,691 of them coming in the List A format, where he has passed 50 on 29 occasions and averages 43.94.<\/p>\n
His domestic career in Pakistan included a stint under Paul Franks at Central Punjab in 2022, when Notts\u2019 One Day Cup Head Coach guided his side to victory in the Pakistan One-Day Cup and an unbeaten campaign in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom my time with Tayyab in Pakistan, I know he\u2019s a player of real pedigree,\u201d said Franks.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis track record speaks for itself, and his positive character will fit right into our dressing room<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we signed George Munsey for the 50-over competition, we knew he\u2019d miss some games this week through international duty with Scotland, so we were keen to secure the best possible replacement for this week\u2019s games.<\/p>\n
\u201cTayyab is a quality player, and we\u2019re looking forward to having him with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Capped 19 times by his country, Tahir has represented Karachi Kings and Multan Sultans in the Pakistan Super League.<\/p>\n
He will be available for the Outlaws\u2019 trips to face Kent (2 August) and Gloucestershire (9 August), along with Notts\u2019 home fixture against Northants Steelbacks at Chesterfield (7 August).<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really excited to play county cricket for Notts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI loved playing under Franksie in Pakistan, and the season we were together was one of the best I\u2019ve had in my life.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was one of the best coaches I worked with, he was so approachable and created a really good environment.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will try my best to make a difference, and I want to make sure my time with Notts is memorable.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pakistan international Tayyab Tahir has signed for Nottinghamshire, and will be available for the Outlaws\u2019 next three group-stage…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":722100,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[18304,1721,18306,15257,18308,101,18303,18305,56,54,55,18307],"class_list":["post-722099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-bridge","tag-cricket","tag-nottingham","tag-nottinghamshire","tag-outlaws","tag-sports","tag-trent","tag-trentbridge","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-west-bridgford"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722099","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=722099"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722099\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/722100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=722099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=722099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=722099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
