Shakib Al Hasan has been signed by Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) for the upcoming (second) season of Major League Cricket (MLC), the American franchise-run T20 league.
"Shakib, obviously, has a well established relationship with the Knight Riders family, having addressed KKR in different stages - including our two title [winning] seasons in 2012 and 2014," an assertion from the Knight Riders bunch said. "We can hardly hold on to see him turn up in Purple and Gold for LA Knight Riders this July."
LAKR, possessed by the gathering that claims Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL and Trinbago Knight Riders people in the CPL as well as Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the ILT20 in the UAE, completed rearward in the debut time of the MLC in 2023.
From that crew, they have held Sunil Narine, the star of KKR's table-fixing run in the association phase of the continuous IPL 2024, Andre Russell, Jason Roy, Spencer Johnson, Unmukt Chand, Ali Khan, Saif Badar, Nitish Kumar and Shadley van Schalkwyk, and drafted in nearby players Derone Davis, Matthew Stomp, Cirne Dry and Adithya Ganesh for the impending season.
The MLC player draft was hung on Walk 21 this year, and an extra draft will be hung on June 16 for the six groups to finish their crews.
The second version of the competition will begin on July 5 with an installation between MI New York and Seattle Orcas, the victors and sprinters up of the debut release. The last will be played on July 29.
