Rangpur Riders have included Pakistan veteran Shoaib Malik for the upcoming season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided to give NOC to the players after the three-match T20I series against West Indies was postponed by the Board, which was due to take place in January 2023 in Pakistan.
Rangpur also bagged pacer Haris Rauf and all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz in the squad.
Meanwhile, another franchise Sylhet Strikers has already signed three Sri Lankan stars Kamindu Mendis, Dhananjaya de Silva, and Thisara Perera, along with former Pakistani pacer Mohammad Amir.
Sylhet has also named veteran Mashrafe bin Mortaza as their icon player for the biggest T20 tournament of the country.
The 43-day-long BPL will get underway on January 5 next year with the grand finale scheduled for February 16.
