Pakistan seamer Mohammad Ali joins Nottinghamshire

Pakistan seam bowler Mohammad Ali is set for his first stint in county cricket after signing a short-term, multi-format contract with Nottinghamshire for the closing phase of the 2026 English domestic season.

The 33-year-old will link up with the Trent Bridge outfit at the start of August and remain available for selection over the final two months of the campaign, featuring in both the County Championship and the One Day Cup.

Ali arrives in England with an impressive body of work behind him, having claimed 340 wickets across his professional career.

His international experience includes appearances in four Tests, three T20 Internationals and one One-Day International, with his most recent outing for Pakistan coming on ODI debut against New Zealand in March last year.

Speaking after the move was confirmed, Mohammad Ali described the opportunity as a long-held ambition.

“I’ve always wanted to play county cricket and test myself in English conditions, so this is a really special opportunity for me,” he said.

“Playing at a venue like Trent Bridge is something every cricketer dreams of, and I’m eager to contribute in both red-ball and white-ball cricket during an important stage of the season.”

Mohammad Ali is no stranger to the Nottinghamshire setup, having previously worked with assistant head coach Paul Franks during the 2022–23 domestic season in Pakistan, where Franks was involved with Central Punjab.

That campaign proved a successful one for the fast bowler, as he finished as the fifth-highest wicket-taker in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, claiming 24 wickets at an average of 25.54.

He also played a vital role in Central Punjab’s domestic 50-over title-winning run, picking up six wickets in five matches, including figures of 2 for 31 in the final.

Franks welcomed Ali’s arrival, highlighting not only his on-field ability but also his character and work ethic.

“Mohammad really impressed me with his personality and professionalism during our time together in Pakistan,” Franks said.

“We’ve kept in touch since then and looked at opportunities to bring him to Nottinghamshire before. This felt like the right moment, and he’s someone who is a pleasure to have in the dressing room.”
