Pakistan all-rounder Faheem Ashraf has withdrawn himself from English county to ensure his availability for Pakistan’s upcoming matches.

The 24-year old was due to join the county for 14 T20 matches and two 4-day games between July and September.

However, he has decided to forego the contract to represent Pakistan in the T20 tri-series against Australia and Zimbabwe in July-August and Asia Cup in September.

Faheem, who topped the wickets chart in Pakistan Super League 2018 with 18 wickets for Islamabad United, also left a lucrative Bangladesh Premier League contract last year to play domestic cricket in Pakistan.
