Hampshire Hawks have announced the signing of Afghanistan international Naveen-ul-Haq for their final six Vitality Blast group matches.

Naveen-ul-Haq
Hopefully I can help the team to repeat the success of 2022 and win another T20 trophy for the Club.

Furthermore, he has become a popular player in numerous franchise leagues around the world, with appearances in the Indian Premier League (IPL), the Pakistan Super League (PSL), the SA20 and many more.
Representing his native Afghanistan, the bowler has also shone on an international stage, with 62 wickets in IT20s and ODIs.
He is experienced and specialises in bowling during the pressure phases of the game.
