Nabi, a former Fortune Barishal player, has previously represented five different BPL franchises.
Ahead of the auction, Noakhali Express secured Sri Lankan wicketkeeper-batter Kushal Mendis and Johnson Charles. While Mendis has played extensively in PSL, IPL, LPL, and SA T20 leagues, this will be his first BPL appearance.
Due to Sri Lanka’s three-match T20 series against Pakistan in January, Mendis will temporarily leave BPL duty, and Avishka Fernando is set to join the team as his replacement, according to a source.
Khaled Mahmud Sujon will serve as the head coach, completing the management of the new franchise.
