Yorkshire county cricket club on Monday (August 22) announced the signings of Derbyshire batter Shan Masood and Leicestershire all-rounder Ben Mike ahead of the 2023 season.

Masood joins the Headingley-based team as one of the overseas players on a two-year deal, while Mike has signed a three-year deal with the club.

For Derbyshire, Masood scored 1,779 runs in all competitions so far and made a name for himself in the circuit. The left-handed batter was presented with multiple contract extension offers by Derbyshire, but the club failed to meet his demands, and Masood eventually decided to leave.

“I’m delighted to have signed for Yorkshire. The pedigree and the history of Yorkshire CCC is massive and to play at Headingley week in week out is a dream. I share the ambition of the Club to win trophies whilst playing an exciting brand of cricket," said Shan Masood.

Leicestershire announced that all-rounder Ben Mike will leave the Club upon the expiry of his contract to join Yorkshire. The multi-format all-rounder has been an integral part of the club across all formats in recent seasons, featuring on 86 occasions since his debut in 2018.

The-23-year-old has gone on to claim 78 first-class wickets for Leicestershire at 36.68 apiece while amassing 1,178 runs at an average of 23.56.
