Taking to Twitter, Gloucestershire announced the signing with young Pakistan’s pacer.
“The 18-year-old rising star will be available to play in all formats for The Shire this season,” the county wrote.
The 18-years-old will play for the county club for the first few months of the 2022 season, up until the end of the Club’s participation in the T20 Vitality Blast tournament group stages.
In a statement released by Gloucestershire, Naseem said he is delighted to join the county.
I am extremely happy to be joining Gloucestershire and can not wait to experience playing in English cricket for the first time.
