Mohammad has done remarkably well in his recent performances for Pakistan and we hope he can carry that form into our season.

This is very much a new era for Leicestershire. I hope that our members and supporters are filled with as much anticipation as we are in looking ahead to the new season.

This is a new era for the club and Jeremy and I want to stamp our identity on it, so the immediate aim is to create a competitive environment within the squad and turn potential into winning performances.

He is one of a number of seam bowlers we are having a look at because we need to strengthen that department. A decision on whether he stays with us won't be made until we've had an opportunity to look at him in a match.
