44yo South African leg-spinner eyeing long-awaited Big Bash League debut
An Ashes hero, a T20 World Cup champion and a 44-year-old leg-spinner headline the latest batch of nominations ahead of next month’s Big Bash Overseas Player Draft.
The Melbourne Renegades are spoiled for choice, with Afghanistan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman and West Indies tweaker Akeal Hosein both available to the club as retention picks. Meanwhile, South African spinners Tabraiz Shamsi and Imran Tahir, who celebrated his 44th birthday this year, are up for grabs as free agents. Tahir, who is yet to make his Big Bash debut, was snapped up by the Renegades ahead of the 2020/21 tournament, but he withdrew at the eleventh hour due to personal reasons.
England seamer Kate Cross, who featured in the recent drawn Ashes campaign in the United Kingdom, has also put her name forward for the WBBL Draft, but is not available as a retention pick despite previously representing the Heat and Perth Scorchers.“The calibre of players nominating for the upcoming Drafts is really exciting and its no doubt going to give clubs some tough decisions to make,” Cricket Australia’s General Manager of Big Bash Leagues Alistair Dobson said in a statement.
