Daaryoush Ahmed has signed a one-year contract extension with Gloucestershire, keeping him at the club until the end of 2027. The 26-year-old Bristol-born all-rounder joined Gloucestershire in 2025 after being awarded a contract through the MCC's commitment to provide opportunities for young players at first-class level.

Ahmed's 2026 season brought several notable performances. He scored a career-high first-class score of 90 not out from 117 balls against Middlesex in the County Championship, sharing a 144-run eighth-wicket partnership with Sai Kishore that helped secure a draw from a difficult position. With the ball, he took six Championship wickets at an economy rate of 3.53. In the One Day Cup, he took career-best List A figures of 4-56 against Northamptonshire at the Cheltenham Cricket Festival and struck 48 from 38 balls to help secure a three-wicket victory.

Gloucestershire director of cricket Jon Lewis said Ahmed had 'put his heart and soul into trying to improve as a cricketer' and the contract extension showed the club's investment in his future. Ahmed said Gloucestershire was a club that 'means a lot to me and to my family' and that continuing his career there was 'brilliant news'.
