Australia’s marquee T20 event Big Bash League’s (BBL) franchise Hobart Hurricanes picked Shadab Khan, Asif Ali and Faheem Ashraf for the upcoming edition of the tournament.
According to the details, the Hurricanes picked the three Pakistan cricketers in the inaugural Big Bash drafts held on Saturday.
“Really, really exciting times for us,” said Hurricanes’ head of strategy Ricky Ponting while he announced his top picks of the night as they went for leg spinner Shadab as their platinum pick before taking Asif and Faheem.
“He’s (Shadab) a high class international leg-spinner, very handy with the bat as well, he’s a gun in the field, so we think we’re bringing in a three dimensional cricketer into our sport.” said Ponting.
Shadab has also represented the Brisbane Heat and Sydney Sixers in the previous editions of the BBL.
