Yorkshire welcomes their new skipper Shan Masood

The left-handed opener, Shan Masood, has banded together with the Yorkshire Cricket Club, as a captain, for the ongoing County Championship 2023-24.

Earlier on, Shan left for England to play County cricket after getting free from the recently-concluded ODI series against New Zealand.

On their official Twitter account, Yorkshire welcomed Shan to their team.

In the recently-finished ODI series against New Zealand, Shan scored 52 runs in three matches. His highest score was 44 off 55 deliveries. In all the matches that he played, he was sent as an opener.

The skipper himself interacted with the fans and shared a message on the Yorkshire Twitter account.

"It's great to be out here with the Yorkshire family finally. I want to take this opportunity to hope that you guys [fans] will be there as usual and lend us immense support. I am really looking forward to this," Shan said.

Ottis Gibson, head coach of Yorkshire, had named Shan Masood as the county's captain last year.

While talking to the media, Gibson stated that the Shan, who formerly used to play for Derbyshire on a two-year contract, will lead the county in the upcoming summer season.

"The conversation we've had with Shan is that he is going to be club captain going forward. Shan is going to be club captain, and he will bring his own style of leadership," Gibson had said.
