During the players’ draft for the Zim-Afro T10 competition that took place on Monday, the Bulawayo Braves selected the Bangladeshi fast bowler Taskin Ahmed.
Five clubs will compete in the first season of the Zim Afro T10 League: the Harare Hurricanes, the Joburg Buffaloes, the Durban Qalandars, and the Bulawayo Braves. The Cape Town Samp Army will serve as the league’s host.
Mushfiqur Rahim, a wicket-keeper batter from Bangladesh, was the first player that the Joburg Buffaloes recruited directly as their marquee player.
Each of the five franchises has already selected its four marquee players, and the lone player from Zimbabwe on any of the squads is Sikandar Raza, who plays for the Bulawayo Braves.
The first ever running of the competition will get under way on July 20, with the conclusion taking place on July 29. The city of Harare will serve as the setting for each and every game of the tournament.
