Glamorgan re-sign Pakistan seamer Hamza

Glamorgan have re-signed Pakistan bowler Mir Hamza has signed for the final five games of the County Championship season.

Left-arm seam bowler Hamza has played seven Tests for his country.

The 33-year-old played for Glamorgan in the first six matches of the 2024 season and took 12 wickets at an average of 35.

Hamza has also had spells at Warwickshire and Sussex.

Glamorgan's director of cricket Mark Wallace said: "We're delighted to have Mir rejoining us for the last five games of the year.

"With such a busy international calendar and domestic seasons restarting in the southern hemisphere, there is limited availability at this time of the year, so we're lucky to be able to call on a player of Mir's quality for the run in."

Glamorgan lie fourth in the Championship table going into the final block of six matches, and look set to achieve their best placing since the competition was divided into two divisions in 2000.

They take on Leicestershire at Grace Road from Thursday, with Hamza due to arrive before the home game against Hampshire next week.
