MELBOURNE: The Melbourne Renegades have signed up emerging Afghanistan spinner Zahir Khan for the Big Bash League Season 11 (BBL-11), beginning December 5. The 22-year-old moves to the Renegades after stints with the Melbourne Stars and Brisbane Heat over the past two seasons. Zahir, a left-arm wrist spinner, boasts a bevy of variations and has already made an impact in the BBL. He has claimed 14 wickets in his 16 games, with his economy rate a miserly 6.76.

"I love the Big Bash so much and was very pleased to sign up for my third season in this great tournament," Zahir said in a statement on Friday. "I am happy the Renegades have given this opportunity to me to show what I can do." IANS
