"Mohammad has consistently been one of the top performers in the County Championship and has unfailingly produced his very best for Hampshire time and time again," Giles White, the men's director of cricket said. "His character will be sorely missed in the dressing room and on the pitch, and everyone at the Club wishes him the very best in his career.

Abbas' incredible first-class form helped him earning a recall to the Pakistan Test lineup against South Africa. Overall, Abbas has bagged 101 international wickets in 30 matches across formats.

"Trent Bridge is a special place to play cricket, so it will be great to call the ground home this summer - especially after not being able to come over and play for Notts five years ago," Abbas said.

"I've really enjoyed my time in the English game, and the squad at Notts is in an exciting place. There's a good blend of young talent and senior players who've been around for a while and know their game really well, and I'm looking forward to contributing in any way that I can to their success."
