Khulna Titans have roped in Australian allrounder Shane Watson for the 2019-20 Bangladesh Premier League. Wat­son was the first of the two direct signings for Khulna, who finished at the bottom of the points 

table last season, reports Cricinfo.

Watson, who had missed the 2017 BPL due to injury, after signing up with Dhaka Dyna­mites that year, said that his primary goal would be to win a maiden title for Khulna.

"I am super excited to join the Khulna Titans for the upcoming Bangladesh Premier League season," Watson said. "The coaching and management team at the Khulna Titans are putting together an amazing squad, so hopefully we can bring home that title that we have always been looking for."

Watson announced his BBL retirement in April, but he con­tinues to be an active player in other T20 leagues. In May, he nearly took Chennai Super Kings to the IPL title and he is now set to turn out in the inaugural Euro T20 Slam.

The seventh edition of BPL is scheduled to start in first week of December later this year.
