LONDON: Middlesex have signed Pakistan star pacer Junaid Khan as a replacement overseas player for Joe Burns.

The 25-year-old left armer is available to play in the One-Day Cup and also in the Championship if required.

He has played 22 Tests, 52 one-day internationals and nine Twenty20 games for his country.

Junaid could make his debut against Lancashire, the side he represented in the T20 Blast in 2014, in their One-Day Cup tie at Blackpool on Wednesday.

“We are delighted to have got a bowler of Junaid’s quality at such short notice,” said Middlesex managing director of cricket Angus Fraser.
