South Australia sign Afridi for Twenty20 Big Bash | |
South Australia have signed Pakistani
all rounder Shahid Afridi as the replacement for Sri Lankan spinner Ajantha Mendis
for the Twenty20 Big Bash this summer. Southern Redbacks said that Afridi has
been signed, as Mendis would be unavailable due to Sri Lanka's planned tri-series
with India and Bangladesh in January. "We narrowly missed out on finals last season
and these signings are definitely a boost to our quest to qualify for the Champions
League this year," The News quoted Jamie Cox, South Australia's manager, as saying.
South Australia's Big Bash campaign begins on December 29, when Pakistan will
be involved in the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne. However, Afridi has not played
Test cricket since 2006 and is not expected to feature in their Test squad, which
would leave him free to take part in the competition. |
