Usama Mir Secures Three-Year T20 Contract with Worcestershire

Pakistan leg-spinner Usama Mir has signed a three-year T20 contract with Worcestershire, marking a significant step in his career as he commits long-term to English county cricket. The deal will see Mir feature as an overseas player for the club in 2026, before becoming eligible to play as a local cricketer from 2027 due to UK residency rules and his spouse’s British citizenship. Worcestershire’s management expressed their excitement at securing Mir’s services, highlighting his proven ability in global T20 leagues and his previous successful stint with the Rapids in 2023, where he topped both the batting and bowling averages. The 29-year-old has built a strong reputation in franchise cricket, featuring in competitions such as the Big Bash League, The Hundred, and the Pakistan Super League, with over 150 T20 appearances and nearly 180 wickets to his name. This long-term move provides Worcestershire with both immediate impact and future squad stability, while offering Mir a stable platform to continue excelling in the shortest format of the game as he looks to balance his domestic commitments with any potential future international opportunities.
