Kent have signed Bangladesh fast bowler Hasan Mahmud for six of their remaining eight County Championship Division Two matches.

The 26-year-old, who has taken 36 wickets in 13 Test matches, will be available to play against Lancashire and Middlesex this month, and the four games to be played in September.

Between those periods, he is likely to be involved for Bangladesh in Tests against Zimbabwe and Australia.

“Playing county cricket is a dream come true, and it’s a proud moment not only for me, but also for everyone back home in Bangladesh,” Mahmud said.
