Proteas leg-spinner Imran Tahir will join the Guyana Amazon Warriors for the remainder of the 2019 Caribbean Premier League.
Tahir has replaced Pakistan Shahdab Khan in the Warriors squad after Khan left the tournament due to international commitments. The South African has represented the Guyana franchise previously.
The 40-year-old Tahir was part of Surrey’s T20 Blast campaign earlier this month – and will represent the Nelson Mandela Bay Giants in the second edition of the Mzansi Super League in South Africa later this year.
Meanwhile, former Proteas batsman JP Duminy has been added to the Barbados Tridents squad. Duminy and Australian Josh Lalor have replaced Pakistanis Wahab Riaz and Imad Wasim, who have also withdrawn due to international commitments.
The left-handed Duminy recently played for the Winnipeg Hawks in the Global T20 Canada. The Hawks won the tournament. He was due to play for the Belfast Titans in the Euro T20 Slam, which was later postponed.
The 35-year-old also sports experience for the Deccan Chargers, Delhi Daredevils, Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League.
He will play for the Paarl Rocks in the 2019 MSL, after being purchased for R1 million at this week’s player draft in Soweto.
The current CPL features other South Africans, too, including the St Lucia Zouks’ Beuran Hendricks, Hardus Viljoen and Cameron Delport.
