LONDON (AFP) - Former England bowler Ajmal Shahzad is set to leave Sussex after two years with the county side.
The 31-year-old, who played for England 15 times across all formats including one Test match, joined Sussex two years ago, but has not played any first-team matches since mid-May against South Africa.
The seamer, who s also played for Lancashire, Nottinghamshire and his native Yorkshire, with whom he started his career, will now be seeking a new challenge as he prepares to depart his fourth county team.
"I have loved my time at Sussex and I m very grateful to everyone at the club for their support over the last few years, but I think it is clear that I and the club are going in different directions, and it suits both parties to part ways," he said.
"I m really excited about the next stage of my career, and it is my intention to be back playing cricket as soon as possible. I have a huge amount to offer a county and I know I will be a valuable asset to someone."
