The Vancouver Knights have signed three of Pakistan’s biggest stars: Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and the fiery left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir for the upcoming season of the Global T20 Canada.
Babar Azam has recently topped the run-scoring charts in T20 Cricket, surpassing even the legendary Virat Kohli. On the other hand, Rizwan also has experience of playing in various T20 leagues across the world. Amir will further boost the bowling lineup of Vancouver Knights.
The Vancouver Knights, who finished second in the points table last season, have surely bolstered their squad with these acquisitions.
Furthermore, the inclusion of the Pakistan players is also a major boost for the Global T20 League itself. It elevates the profile of the tournament and attracts international cricket fans eager to see these world-class players in action.
Vancouver Knights will open their tournament campaign against Toronto Nationals, who have acquired the services of Pakistan’s fast bowling sensation, Shaheen Afridi, on July 26 in the tournament opener of the Global T20 League.
