Bangladesh pace sensation Mustafizur Rahman, who previously represented Lahore Qalandars, has officially signed up for the Pakistan Super League (PSL) Season 10 player draft.
Rahman, a key pacer for the Bengal Tigers in the white-ball format, played one season in the PSL during 2018 when he represented the Qalandars.
The team finished last that year and failed to qualify for the knockout stages of the tournament.
The left-arm pacer featured in five matches, taking four wickets at an average of 25.75 and an economy rate of 6.43.
In addition to his PSL stint, the 29-year-old boasts extensive experience in the shorter format of the game.
To date, he has represented Bangladesh in 106 T20I matches, claiming 132 wickets.
Rahman is currently the fifth-highest wicket-taker in T20I cricket.
Besides Mustafizur Rahman, former England duo David Willey and Jason Roy, along with Australia's Usman Khawaja, have also signed up for the PSL 2025 draft.
It is pertinent to mention that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided to hold the PSL draft in Balochistan for the first time.
As per the announcement, the draft will take place in Gwadar, the port city of Pakistan's largest province, on January 11, 2025.
The pick order for the highly-anticipated players draft has also been announced, with two-time champions Lahore Qalandars making the first pick in the opening round of the platinum category, followed by arch-rivals Karachi Kings.
2019 champions Quetta Gladiators will make the third pick, while Peshawar Zalmi will have the fourth.
Last season’s runners-up, Sultans, and reigning champions United will make the fifth and sixth picks, respectively.
