“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.
