Beswicks Sports Team instrumental in Pakistani pace bowler, Rao Iftikhar Anjum's move to Surrey
Beswicks confirmed the signing of Pakistani pace bowler Rao Iftikhar Anjum to Surrey for the start of the season.
The deal will give Rao a perfect opportunity to showcase his skills in English domestic county cricket for the first time and provides a major boost to Surrey cricket manager Chris Adams who has tracked the 29-year-old since last season.

Beswicks cricket executive Darren Long said: “Rao has been keen to play in England for a while now and has been highly recommended to Surrey. Chris wanted to sign him last year but international commitments meant it was not possible.
“The early season conditions should suit him and he can hopefully make a big impact at The Oval.”
"I believe Rao is the type of bowler who will perform well in English conditions," said Surrey cricket manager Chris Adams.
"Playing for an English county has long been an ambition of mine, and I am very much looking forward to joining Surrey in the coming weeks," said Rao Iftikhar.
"Some of the greatest Pakistani bowlers of recent times have played for Surrey and I am honoured to be following in their footsteps."
