LONDON:- Lancashire have signed Afghanistan left-arm wristspinner Zahir Khan  for the remainder of the season. Zahir, 19, has an impressive record with both red and white ball, having taken 34 first-class wickets at 13.14, alongside 19 at 22.42 in List A and 15 at 13.53 in T20 cricket. He is yet to make his international debut although he was part of Afghanistan's squad for their inaugural Test against India.
