Overview
- Lancashire confirmed the signing of Pakistan international Shadab Khan on June 24 as an injury replacement for Australia’s Chris Green and will add him to the squad for the June 26 trip to Grace Road.
- The 27‑year‑old is a capped T20 international with extensive franchise experience, including recent stints in the Pakistan Super League and Big Bash League and previous Blast seasons for Yorkshire and Sussex.
- Shadab arrives on the back of strong form, having captained Abbottabad Region to the National T20 Cup title where he took two wickets in the final and taking 17 wickets while scoring 173 runs in the 2026 PSL.
- Lancashire sit at the foot of the North Group with eight points from six matches, and club officials say the signing is aimed at shoring up their spin options and adding depth in the lower order during the closing stages of the Vitality Blast.
- The move illustrates routine mid‑season roster changes in T20 leagues, with an experienced international brought in quickly to cover an injury and try to change a team’s short‑term fortunes.
