Pakistan Batter Tayyab Tahir Signs Short-Term Deal with Nottinghamshire Outlaws for One Day Cup

Cricket Gully 2 weeks ago

Pakistan's middle-order batter, Tayyab Tahir, has joined the Nottinghamshire Outlaws for a three-match run in the ongoing One Day Cup.

Tahir, who has played 11 ODIs and eight T20Is for Pakistan, will be available for the Outlaws' next three group-stage matches against Kent, Northants Steelbacks, and Gloucestershire on August 2, 7, and 9, respectively.

At 33 years old, this short-term deal marks Tahir's second time working with coach Paul Franks, who previously guided Central Punjab to the National One-Day Cup title and an unbeaten streak in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy in 2022.

Interestingly, Tahir is stepping in as a partial replacement for Scotland's George Munsey, who is unavailable during this time due to national commitments.

"From my time with Tayyab in Pakistan, I know he's a player of real pedigree," said Franks.

"His track record speaks for itself, and his positive character will fit right into our dressing room.

"When we signed George Munsey for the 50-over competition, we knew he'd miss some games this week through international duty with Scotland, so we were keen to secure the best possible replacement for this week's games.

"Tayyab is a quality player, and we're looking forward to having him with us."

Sharing his thoughts on this opportunity with the Outlaws, Tayyab Tahir expressed his excitement about playing county cricket and praised Franks as one of the best coaches he's had the pleasure of working with. He also promised to give his all to make a positive impact and create lasting memories at Trent Bridge.

Tayyab Tahir’s move to Nottinghamshire Outlaws is an exciting chance for the Pakistan batter to showcase his talent in English county cricket. With his solid experience and track record of consistent performances, he can really bring some stability to the team, especially during those crucial One Day Cup matches.

Plus, reuniting with coach Paul Franks should help him find his footing quickly. Cricket fans are definitely looking forward to seeing how Tahir performs and the difference he’ll make for the Outlaws.
