Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib al Hasan becomes first to achieve THIS record in T20s

Former Pakistan white-ball captain and gloveman Mohammad Rizwan has agreed to join Caribbean Premier League (CPL) side St Kitts and Nevis Patriots for the remainder of the season, signing as a replacement for Afghanistan seamer Fazalhaq Farooqi, who will link up with the national team for the triangular T20I series involving Pakistan and the host UAE. It, however, remains unclear if Rizwan will be part of St Kitts’ game on Thursday (Aug 21) in a home game against Barbados Royals. Rizwan is said to have received the No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to feature in the Caribbean franchise league.&nbsp;It’s the first time that Rizwan will feature in the CPL, adding to a growing list of Pakistani players in the tournament. On Thursday, Antigua and Barbados Falcons signed leggie Usama Mir, and the Patriots had already signed two Pakistani quicks – Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi, who is also part of the tri-series in the UAE.
