The Pakistan pacer joined the England club days after his side faced a crushing defeat in the PSL 10 final.

Lahore Qalandars lifted the PSL trophy for the third time after defeating Quetta Gladiators by six wickets in the final game of the tournament.

Set to chase 202 for victory, Sikandar Raza and Kusal Perera staged an unbroken 59-run partnership to complete the highest chase in a PSL final.

Mohammad Amir had a dismal outing with the ball in the final as he conceded 41 runs in his four overs while taking a single wicket.
