Describing his performance to date Asif commented: ”The season has started off very cold and wet but things are getting better by the day. I am really enjoying my bowling and the ball is coming out nicely. “As usual I try very hard with the bat and has been rewarded with a knock of 75 runs to date.

It is my goal to continue to impress and play consistent cricket so that it would lead to better things in the future.” Jan together with his brother Imran, all rounder Darryl Brown, national spinner Kenneth Hazel and the Queen’s Park duo of Dereck Agge and Damien Lewis are all playing league cricket in England.
