Yorkshire are expected to announce Masood's capture in the coming days after Derbyshire confirmed on Friday that he would be moving to a rival county next summer.

Mickey Arthur, Derbyshire's director of cricket, said: 'He's shown the performances I knew he was capable of in county cricket and we've been keen to extend his deal since very early on in the season.
'The contract renewal reflected his performances and value to the club, but ultimately we couldn't match the offer. 
'The other county set their stall out to bring in Shan, and while it is of course disappointing to lose a player of his calibre, I and everyone here wish him the very best for the future.'
