Lancashire have confirmed that Pakistan left-arm seamer Junaid Khan
will return to the county for limited-overs competitions. Junaid is
expected to join the county in time for their first T20 match against
Nottinghamshire on May 16.
Junaid had earlier signed with Lancashire in 2011 and played four
one-day games and eight T20s for the county. His performance in the
Friends Life t20 in 2011, where he took 12 wickets in eight games,
helped Lancashire qualify for finals day, where they were eliminated in a
Super Over by Leicestershire.
"We are delighted to be bringing Junaid back to Lancashire following his
memorable spell with us in 2011," Lancashire's cricket director Mike
Watkinson, said. "Following his time with us, he went on to become an
established international with Pakistan and we are looking forward to
him bringing that experience to Old Trafford as we aim to build on a
good season in 2013."
Junaid has played 46 ODIs since his debut in April 2011 taking 74
wickets at an average of 24.37 and an economy rate of just under five.
In T20 internationals, he has eight wickets in nine games at an average
of 29.50.
