Sports Desk

Bangladeshi cricketers Liton Das, Nahid Rana, and Rishad Hossain have been picked by franchises in the Pakistan Super League (PSL). Liton, who hit a record-breaking century in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) just a day after being excluded from the Champions Trophy squad, was signed by Karachi Kings.

Leg-spinning all-rounder Rishad Hossain joined Lahore Qalandars, while pacer Nahid Rana was picked early in the draft by Peshawar Zalmi.

During Monday’s draft, Nahid was the first Bangladeshi to be selected. The right-arm pacer was in the Gold category, valued at $50,000. Liton, also in the Gold category, was signed by Karachi Kings after his explosive 125 off 55 balls for Dhaka Capitals in the BPL, which included the fastest century by a Bangladeshi (44 balls).

Rishad, valued at $85,000 in the Diamond category, was acquired by Lahore Qalandars.

The PSL will begin on April 8 and conclude on May 19.
