Surrey have signed all-rounder Hishaam Khan on skilled terms for the rest of their Metro Bank One-Day Cup campaign.
The 26-year-old left-arm seamer and left-handed batter joins the Kia Oval county after impressing with the South Asian Cricket Academy (SACA), having previously featured within the competition for Worcestershire in 2024.
Khan, who was born in Nottingham, played six List A matches for Worcestershire after becoming the ninth SACA player to earn an expert county contract in July 2024.
Following his release, he returned to SACA, where he has continued to become a real all-rounder with consistent performances in each disciplines.

Opportunity
His move to Surrey marks one other success story for SACA, with Khan becoming the third player to secure a second skilled county opportunity after Yadvinder Singh and Mo Rizvi.
The switch also reunites him with former SACA teammate Nikhil Gorantla, who signed a two-year cope with Surrey last yr.
SACA founder and managing director Tom Brown believes Khan has earned one other probability within the skilled game.
“We’re really pleased for Hishaam, who thoroughly deserves this chance once more to prove himself within the county game,” Brown said.
Excited
He continued: “He has worked incredibly hard since coming back to SACA and has turned himself right into a real all-rounder.
“I’m excited to see him put the teachings he has learnt from his last stint on this competition into motion.
“We wish him every success over the rest of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup campaign.”
Khan will now look to impress Surrey’s coaching staff in the course of the remainder of the One-Day Cup, with the prospect of securing a longer-term future in county cricket.
