Sana Mir and Usain Bolt named ambassadors of ICC T20 WC Qualifier 2024
Former Pakistan skipper Sana Mir and eight-time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt have been named as the ambassadors of women’s and men’s ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier 2024.
Ace Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah will weave his magic for Kent in four second tier championship matches, the county announced on Monday.
The 31-year-old — who has taken 149 wickets at an average of 29.91 in 26 Test matches — is to stand in for Kent's foreign player signing New Zealand paceman Adam Milne, who is away on Champions Trophy duty.
"Yasir is one of the finest spinners in the world," Kent head coach Matt Walker said.

"Taking 20 wickets consistently in red-ball cricket (county championship) will be key to our promotion chances and a bowler of Yasir's calibre will help to us achieve that and rotate our attack at a key period in the season."
Yasir could make his debut in the game with Durham beginning on Thursday.
Kent are currently second in the Division Two table, having won four of their opening five games of the season.
