Shaheen Shah Afridi: Nottinghamshire have secured the services of two talented left-arm seamers, Ben Lister from New Zealand and Fazalhaq Farooqi from Afghanistan as a replacement of Shaheen Shah Afridi for the T20 Blast 2024 group stages.

Shaheen took 22 wickets in his 14 matches for Notts last season, including four in a single over in a defeat to Birmingham Bears. With Shaheen unavailable due to his commitments with the T20 World Cup for Pakistan, Nottinghamshire turned to Lister and Farooqi, both renowned for their wicket-taking abilities and experience on the international stage.

Lister, despite not featuring in New Zealand's World Cup plans, brings with him 13 limited-overs caps and a hunger to make an impact.
