Bangladesh stumper-batter Mushfiqur Rahim is set to feature in the inaugural Zim Afro T10 League, scheduled to run from July 20-29 in Harare.

All five teams have already picked a maximum of four marquee players in the pre-draft, ahead of official players' draft on July 02.

Mushfiqur was roped in by Joburg Buffaloes as one of their marquee signings. The veteran Bangladeshi will have teammates in Yusuf Pathan (India), Ahmad Noor (Afghanistan) and England's Tom Banton.

The tournament rules dictates that each team are to form their squads with a minimum of 16 members, and involving at least six Zimbabweans.  

The 10-over format has gained popularity primarily with the arrival of Abu Dhabi T10 League in 2017.
