Club chairman Lord Patel labelled the partnership “an exciting step” towards creating an inclusive cricket culture at Yorkshire.

“The work the Lahore Qalandars do both on and off the pitch is remarkable and can serve as a benchmark for clubs around the world – ours included – for how best to spot, foster and support talent at all levels in the game of cricket,” he said.

Interim managing director of the club Darren Gough said, “I am thrilled to welcome the exceptionally talented Haris Rauf to our club.I am also excited by the opportunity to learn from the inspirational players’ development program.

“I have spoken in the past about my passion for developing accessible pathways to cricket – for many people from a background like mine, cricket isn’t seen as an option, with the associated costs and access to facilities creating real barriers to entry.This partnership is an opportunity to take the blueprint the Qalandars has developed to such a success and work with them to define how that can be used to provide access for potential players from across Yorkshire.”The joint venture will allow the two clubs to mutually learn from each other, with Yorkshire especially keen to emulate the Qalandars’ players development program (PDP) and its successes with nurturing local talent.Among the players to benefit from the PDP is international fast bowler Haris Rauf, who went for a trial in 2017 and is now a mainstay of both the Qalandars and Pakistan T20 sides.As part of the partnership, the 28-year-old will join Yorkshire as an overseas signing during the 2022 season on a player exchange programme.Young Yorkshire allrounder Harry Brook was picked up by the PSL franchise in the recent player draft.

I have previously spoken about my passion to develop accessible routes to cricket.For many from similar backgrounds, cricket is not an option due to the high costs involved and the lack of facilities that make it affordable.The partnership will allow us to use the Qalandars’ success as a blueprint and collaborate with them in defining how we can make it accessible to potential players across Yorkshire.
This joint venture will enable the clubs to learn together, and Yorkshire is keen to copy the Qalandars’ players development program (PDP), which has proven successful in nurturing local talent.

Haris Rahauf is an international fast bowler who was a part of a PDP trial and now plays for both the Qalandars T20 and Pakistan T20 teams.

The partnership will see the 28-year old join Yorkshire in 2022 as an overseas signee on a programme called player exchange.The PSL franchise selected Harry Brook, a young Yorkshire player in the latest player draft.
