Hamza, 31, has been capped five times in Tests, most recently on Pakistan’s 2023-24 tour of Australia. He has taken 434 first-class wickets at an average of 22.40, and previously represented Sussex and Warwickshire in county cricket.

“It’s excellent news that Mir has agreed to join us at the start of the season,” Glamorgan’s director of cricket, Mark Wallace, said. “He’s an international bowler with a fine record and previous experience in county cricket. We’re looking forward to welcoming him to Cardiff.”

Hamza’s signing comes in the wake of Grant Bradburn’s arrival to take charge as head coach. Bradburn previously held a number of roles at the PCB, including assistant and head coach.

Bradburn said: “As coach, I am excited for our group to add such an experienced performer in Mir Hamza. Having worked with Mir previously in Pakistan, I have full confidence that Mir will add huge value to our team both on and off the field.”

Hamza, who had a short stint at Warwickshire last year and played for Sussex in 2019, will be available for Glamorgan’s first seven Championship games up until the end of May.

Hamza said: “I am thrilled to be joining Glamorgan for the County Championship this summer. It will be exciting to work with Grant again after working with him with Pakistan, and I can’t wait to join up with the squad, get to training and help this great club push for a positive start to the season.

“I have heard many great things about Cardiff from my team-mates who played there last summer and look forward to meeting all of the supporters.”

Glamorgan finished fifth in Division Two in the 2023 Championship, drawing 12 of their 14 games.
