And Northants head coach David Ripley said: “Moin has registered for us with Rory out for six weeks and Olly out for the season.
“We’re a little bit light in terms of numbers and Moin has impressed for the second team, particularly in the 20-over format.
“He very nearly played at Worcestershire last Friday.
“We’ve seen him bowl his yorkers and I’m sure over the next few weeks he will get a go.”
