DHAKA, Dec 26, 2019 (BSS) – Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson reached Dhaka today to join the Rangpur Rangers tent to play the ongoing
Bangbandhu Bangladesh Premier League (BBPL).
Watson will be part of BBPL for the first time, as his side Rangpur will
take on Khulna Tigers at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium tomorrow
(Friday).
In the last season, he was supposed to play the Bangladesh’s most glamorous
tournament but due to his injury, he couldn’t play eventually.
Rangpur Rangers played five matches in BPL so far and won only one game.
They are now at the bottom of the table with two points.
Watson, one of the most experienced cricketers, played 316 T20 matches
around the world for several teams. He amassed 8,182 runs with six centuries
and 48 half centuries. At the same time, he bagged 216 wickets with three
four-wicket hauls.
The right-handed all-rounder represented Australia in 59 Tests, 190 ODIs
and 58 T20Is. The Rangers management believes with Watson’s support, they
will find a winning-streak in BPL.
