Derbyshire Batter Shan Masood Misses Chance To Reach Thousand-run Mark

Shan Masood missed the chance to reach the coveted thousand-run mark in first-class cricket by the end of May after succumbing to a second cheap dismissal for Derbyshire at local rivals Nottinghamshire.
batting star Masood, one of the signings of the 2022 County Championship season, failed to add to his 844-run tally when Stuart Broad won a marginal lbw call in the first over of Derbyshire's second innings at Trent Bridge.
The third-ball duck for the 32-year-old followed a first innings contribution of 18, as the away side battled to avert what would be their first loss under new coach Mickey Arthur.
