Noakhali confirm Sediqullah Atal for BPL
Dhaka, 22 Dec - Noakhali Express has confirmed the inclusion of Afghanistan opener Sediqullah Atal for the upcoming Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
It will mark his first appearance in the Bangladesh's domestic T20
tournament.
Atal has already established him as one of the dangerous openers in the world
by performing well in several T20 leagues including IPL, ILT20 and SA20. He
so far represented Afghanistan in one Test, 12 ODIs and 22 T20Is.
He will join with his compatriot Mohammad Nabi, a seasoned BPL campaigner and
recent title-winner with Fortune Barishal and pacer Bilal Sami in the
Noakhali team.
Ahead of the auction, Noakhali signed Sri Lanka's wicketkeeper-batter Kusal
Mendis and West Indies opener Johnson Charles.
However, Mendis will miss a few matches due to Pakistan's T20I series against
Sri Lanka in January. The franchise has kept Sri Lankan batter Avishka
Fernando, who has previously played in the BPL for Chattogram Challengers, as
cover for Mendis.BSS
