Shan Masood Inks All-Format Deal with Leicestershire for 2025 Season: Pakistan’s Test captain, Shan Masood, has secured a significant move to Leicestershire for the 2025 season, signing an all-format contract with the English county side. The left-handed batter is set to join the squad in mid-May after completing his commitments in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Masood’s arrival will bolster Leicestershire’s lineup, and he is expected to be available for their T20 Blast opener on May 31.

This marks Masood’s third stint in county cricket, having previously showcased his talent with Derbyshire and Yorkshire. During his time with Derbyshire in 2022, he delivered an outstanding season, earning widespread acclaim. His subsequent two-year spell with Yorkshire was equally impactful, culminating in his leadership role as the team secured promotion to Division One in 2023. Masood’s experience and leadership qualities will undoubtedly be valuable assets for Leicestershire as they aim to strengthen their position across all formats.

Leicestershire’s overseas contingent for the 2025 season will now feature three international stars, with Masood joining newly appointed captain Peter Handscomb and Netherlands all-rounder Logan van Beek. The addition of Masood, a seasoned campaigner with a stellar first-class record, adds depth and versatility to the squad. With nearly 12,000 runs in first-class cricket and 70 international appearances for Pakistan across formats, Masood brings a wealth of experience to the Foxes.

Despite not featuring in Pakistan’s T20I setup since the 2022 T20 World Cup final and limited ODI appearances since May 2023, Masood has remained a pivotal figure in Test cricket. Recently, he led Pakistan to a memorable Test series victory at home against England, further cementing his reputation as a reliable and strategic leader. His ability to adapt to different formats and conditions makes him a valuable addition to any team.

Expressing his enthusiasm about the move, Masood highlighted his admiration for Leicestershire and the club’s recent progress. “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to represent Leicestershire across all formats,” he said. “The club has always impressed me, and I’ve enjoyed some great conversations with the team over the past few seasons. Playing at Uptonsteel County Ground is always a special experience, with the passionate fans creating an incredible atmosphere. The club has been competitive in all formats and has nurtured some exceptional young talent. It’s an exciting time to be part of the Foxes.”

Leicestershire’s decision to sign Masood reflects their ambition to build a strong, balanced squad capable of challenging for honors in domestic competitions. His leadership experience, coupled with his consistent batting performances, will be crucial as the team looks to make strides in the County Championship, T20 Blast, and One-Day Cup.

For Masood, the move represents another chapter in his county cricket journey, offering him the chance to further showcase his skills and contribute to Leicestershire’s success. As the 2025 season approaches, fans will be eager to see how the Pakistan Test skipper adapts to his new role and helps propel the Foxes to greater heights.
