Sydney Sixers Sign Izharulhaq Naveed After Rehan Ahmed’s Withdrawal
Big Bash League: Big Bash League (BBL) Franchise Sydney Sixers have signed prodigious Afghanistan leg-spinner Izharulhaq Naveed after England's Rehan Ahmed withdrew from the tournament following selection in both white-ball formats for the tour of West Indies.
Although Naveed was an unexpected pick by the Sixers in the first-ever BBL draft last year, he went on to take nine wickets in nine games at an economy rate of 7.37, impressing the team enough to be at the top of their list when they were searching for a replacement.
Sixers head coach Greg Shipperd said Naveed brought a point of difference to the Sixers’ spin stocks alongside veteran tweaker Steve O’Keefe, Test off-spinner Todd Murphy and rising all-rounder Joel Davies.
