Afif to play in CPL
19-year old Afif Hossain was the only player to find a team from amongst 19 Bangladesh players as St Kitts and Nevis Patriots picked the talented left-hander during the CPL 2019 draft on May 22.
The likes of Mahmudullah Riyad, Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan have featured in the CPL for the past few years but were not picked in the CPL draft.
Afif impressed in the last edition of the Bangladesh Premier League for the Sylhet Sixers. He played in 31 T20s so far and scored 509 runs at an average of 21.20 and a strike-rate of 123.24. The all-rounder was played for the national team in a sole T20I against Sri Lanka last year.
The CPL will begin on September 4 and conclude on October 12.
