In the current season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), no foreign star has been seen since the beginning. Most of those who were playing were Pakistani cricketers. But towards the end, this franchise-based T20 tournament started to be competitive. Defending champion Comilla Victorians, who confirmed their last-fourth place, have brought Moeen Ali from England to boost their strength.
Every team that has confirmed the last four is now taking turns bringing in foreign stars. Meanwhile, Moeen has already arrived in Dhaka to play for Comilla. The Comilla franchise authorities confirmed the news of joining the England star all-rounder with the team. In a post on their Facebook page, the title contender welcomed Moeen to the team.
Comilla published a picture of Moeen in a Facebook post. In the caption of the photo, they wrote, “England’s star all-rounder Moeen is a tested cricketer for T20 cricket around the world. He will play for Comilla in the remaining matches of the season. He has already joined the team at the hotel. We welcome him. Moeen is also very happy to join the team.”
Moeen played for Comilla in the last season as well. He has played a total of 7 matches in that season, he has performed rhythmically with bat and ball. Besides scoring 225 runs with the bat, he also bagged 9 wickets with the ball. The star all-rounder helps the team, especially in batting in the middle order. Moeen’s all-around performance played a major role in the Comilla team’s title win that season.
Meanwhile, Comilla has brought two more T20 expert players before Moeen. Andre Russell and Sunil Narine have already played matches for the team. They will also be seen in the last four matches. It is known that Faf du Plessis is also coming to play for Comilla. In that case, the team may face a serious problem about who to keep and who to play in the eleven. Because a maximum of 4 foreign cricketers can be played in the match.
