England Spinner Shoaib Bashir Joins Derbyshire On A Two-year Deal After Ashes Snub
England Spinner Shoaib Bashir: England off-spinner Shoaib Bashir has signed a two-year contract with Derbyshire for the 2026 season, seeking to revitalise his domestic career after limited opportunities at Somerset.
The 22-year-old, who has become a part of England’s Test squad over the past two years, moves to Derbyshire in search of consistent red-ball cricket. Despite taking 68 wickets in 19 Tests since his debut in 2024, Bashir struggled to displace Jack Leach at Somerset.
His lack of match practice became a concern for the national selectors, particularly after he remained an unused squad member during the recent 2025-26 Ashes tour of Australia, where England preferred all-rounder Will Jacks in the playing XI.
