Farooqi was the joint-highest wicket-taker at the 2024 T20 World Cup and has previously played for Nottinghamshire and Manchester Originals in English cricket.
“Fazalhaq comes with a growing reputation as one of the leading bowlers in T20 cricket,” Mark Wallace, Glamorgan’s director of cricket, said.
“He will provide us with a high-quality wicket-taking threat with the new ball and some excellent death-bowling skills at the back end of the innings. We’re looking forward to welcoming our first Afghan overseas player to the Club.”
“We’ve been tracking Ryan’s progress on the Australian domestic circuit and feel his style of bowling will add an extra skillset to our attack at the start of the season,” Wallace said.
“He’s coming off a good domestic season in Australia which has seen him break into the Australia A Team and we’re looking forward to welcoming him to Sophia Gardens in the coming days.”
Glamorgan will be playing in Division One of the Championship for the first time since 2005 this summer, after a late surge to promotion last year.
