After signing England batter Phil Salt, Chittagong Challengers have now signed a deal with West Indies' Romario Shepherd. The franchise has confirmed this news ahead of their clash against Sylhet Strikers today (Friday).

Despite acquiring Shepherd for the team, Chittagong will not have the West Indian all-rounder for the entire season.

Currently, Shepherd is participating in South Africa's T20 league, and after concluding his stint with the Johannesburg Super Kings, he will join BPL, as he is expected to be available for Chittagong Challengers from February 10 onwards.

This Windies’ all-rounder will also see him in action in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) for Mumbai Indians.

Like Shepherd, Salt will join BPL after concluding his participation in the SA20 league.

Kusal Mendis, Najibullah Zadran, Curtis Campher, Bilal Khan, and Avishka Fernando will play for Chittagong too.
