Eoin Morgan, who led England to their first World Cup title last week, is set for his maiden Bangladesh Premier League stint, after signing up with Dhaka Dynamites for the upcoming season, report Cricinfo.
In 2016, Morgan had expressed his concerns about going to Bangladesh following a terrorist attack in Dhaka in July. He and Alex Hales eventually withdrew from England's squad due to security reasons. Morgan has played 268 T20s, scoring 5652 runs at a strike-rate of 128.25. Morgan's next assignment after the World Cup is the Euro T20 Slam, where he will represent the Dublin franchise. Morgan will then join another World Cup star Shakib Al Hasan at Dhaka later this year.
Rajshahi Kings have signed up JP Duminy, the South Africa batsman who recently retired from international cricket, as one of their two out-of-draft signings. They haven't announced their other signing yet.
Duminy has been a regular in other top T20 leagues like the IPL, but hasn't featured in the BPL until now.
The Kings took to their social media pages Saturday to announce the former Proteas all-rounder, who retired from international cricket following the World Cup 2019.
“Rajshahi are proud to announce that South African all-rounder Duminy is a King now. Duminy; an elegant left-handed batsman, a useful spinner and a sharp fielder, has served South Africa for more than 14 years. He has vast experience in franchise cricket and already-led PSL team Islamabad United to their second title in 2018,” said the Rajshahi post on Facebook.
Earlier, another BPL franchise Khulna Titans had included Australia cricketer Shane Watson as one of their signings and Dhaka Dynamites also signed David Miller for the upcoming season.
