His brilliant innings and great bowling by the worcestershire bowlers put their side in a strong position on the end of Day 1 as they bundled Derbyshire for just 130 runs and are currently 141/5 leading by 11 runs in the first innings.
Kashif was the first product of the South Asian Cricket Academy to sign a professional contract with a first-class county earlier this season as he was signed signed by Derbyshire on a short term contract until the end of the 2022 season, after an impressive trial period for the Seconds.
