We are delighted to have signed a bowler of Mohammad Amir’s calibre – Steve Snell
Gloucestershire’s performance director Steve Snell said that they are delighted to have roped in a bowler of Mohammad Amir’s calibre.
“We are delighted to have signed a bowler of Amir’s calibre. We will sadly be without Naseem for a few weeks due to injury and while we help him get back to full fitness, Amir will provide us with quality and international experience in our seam attack for what is a strong first-division competition,” he said.
Steve Snell added that he is confident Amir will be a great addition to the Gloucestershire squad.
“Amir fits the bill perfectly for what we need and we’re confident he will be a great addition to the squad for those three matches. He has indicated his hunger and desire to make pivotal contributions during his time with us and we look forward to making him feel welcome in Bristol with Gloucestershire,” he asserted.
