Several teams selected wicket-keeper batsman Liton Das, leg-spinner Rishad Hossain, and speedster Nahid Rana in today’s Pakistan Super League (PSL) draft in Lahore.
Peshwar Zalmi selected Nahid Rana, who has not yet made his T20 International debut, from the gold category. A day after hitting a century in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), Liton Das signed a contract with Karachi Kings. In 2021, Liton was a member of the same team.
Liton was roped in during the round 2 of the silver category. Later in round 3 of the same category, Lahore Qalandars obtained the service of Rishad, who also got chance to play Australian domestic T20 tournament Big Bash. Rishad couldn’t make it Big Bash due to his stint with Fortune Barishal in BPL.
Nahid Rana caught the global attention for his raw pace. During the Test series against Pakistan last year, he troubled the batters with his pace to help Bangladesh sweep the two-match series.
His performance left such a lasting effect that the Peshwar Zalmi was willing to raise the fee for the child’s services without hesitation.
In the Peshwar Zalmi, Nahid will acquire players like Siam Ayub and Babar Azam.
The Platinum category, where players can make between $130,000 and $150,000 (BDT 12.5 million), was empty of takers for Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman.
Players in the Diamond division can make about $85,000 (BDT 9 million).
The gold category’s salaries are $50,000 (BDT 6 Million).
The largest group of Bangladeshi players were listed in the Silver category where players can earn $25,000 (BDT 3 million).
