Expressing his enthusiasm on Twitter, the left-hand batsman shared his excitement about representing Yorkshire in the highly anticipated T20 competition. 

He expressed his delight at joining such a prestigious club and looked forward to a strong season together, starting with the Vitality Blast.

Speaking ahead of Yorkshire's second Eid Milan celebration, which marks the end of Ramadan, Masood emphasized the importance of the club's efforts to address the damage caused by Azeem Rafiq's allegations of racism and the subsequent fallout. 

He believed that rectifying the situation should be done on a comprehensive scale rather than focusing on specific actions.

"You should never put pressure on doing something. Specifically, I think it should be whole," Masood told The Yorkshire Post.

"When you talk about Yorkshire, it should be about representing the whole county, that's what it should be doing, and that's what I've seen so far.

"That's what I've always done as a person; I've been very lucky to go around a lot of major parts of the world and major parts of my own country, which had a lot of diversity.

"So knowing different people, knowing what cultures they come from, knowing what backgrounds they come from, respecting everyone's ideas and ideologies and just trying to live happily under one roof – I think that is what the club is doing, and that's certainly what I've seen so far."
