Bangladesh pace bowler Taskin Ahmed has officially registered for the inaugural edition of the Afghanistan Premier League (APL), opening the possibility of featuring in the tournament.
The APL confirmed Taskin's registration through its official Instagram account on Wednesday. The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) also announced the development through its official social media platforms.
The player registration process for the inaugural APL has already been completed. According to the organisers, more than 1,000 cricketers have registered for the tournament, including over 500 overseas players.
The APL player draft is scheduled to be held on September 27, when Taskin's participation will be decided.
The Bangladesh pacer has not yet been linked with any particular franchise in the tournament.
In its social media post, the APL said Taskin had officially registered for the league and asked fans which team they would like to see the Bangladesh pacer represent.
'The wait is over," the post read. "Taskin Ahmed has officially registered for the Afghanistan Premier League. Which team would you like to see him represent?"
