T20 Blast: Yorkshire announce Haris, Shadab's replacements

Shadab Khan and Haris Rauf are set to return to Pakistan, leaving mid-way through the T20 Blast, for the upcoming ODI series against the West Indies.

Both players were representing Yorkshire during the 2022 edition of the tournament and their replacements have also been announced by the club.

The club announced that West Indies all-rounder Dominic Drakes has replaced Shadab Khan whereas Haris Rauf will be replaced by New Zealand's Finn Allen for the remaining matches of the T20 Blast.

Darren Gough, Yorkshire's managing director of cricket, praised Haris Rauf for his contribution and claimed that the pacer has all the potential to succeed in Test match cricket as well.

"Haris has made a huge impact for the club during his time with us. His talent is clear to see and I'm sure he has the skills required to forge a brilliant career in Test match cricket, to go alongside his well-established exploits in white-ball cricket," he said.

"I'm looking forward to seeing his career continuing to develop in the coming years, and hopefully we can welcome him back to Yorkshire again soon," he further added. 

Pakistan is all set to host matches in Multan after 14 long years and the three-match ODI series will begin on June 8.
