The Chattogram Challengers have roped in promising Pakistan pacer Shahnawaz Dahani for the upcoming Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2023 in a direct signing. The ninth edition of the Bangladesh Premier League is scheduled to be played from January 5 to February 16, 2023. The annual BPL draft that took place on November 23 saw many players being drafted to other teams.

The main reason behind the Challengers bringing Dahani onboard was due to his outstanding bowling performances in the last season’s Pakistan Super League (PSL) where he was best bowler of Multan Sultans, registering 17 wickets from 11 matches at an economy of 9.33 and an average of 19.76. He finished as the fourth-highest wicket-taker of the competition.

Shahnawaz Dahani has recently caught the limelight with his excellent bowling skills: Chattogram Challengers

In a statement, the Chattogram Challengers said, “24-year-old Shahnawaz Dahani has recently caught the limelight with his excellent bowling skills. The right-arm pacer won the best bowler award in the last edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). He was instrumental in Multan Sultans winning their maiden PSL title."

"He got the award for outstanding performance wearing the national team jersey. After that, he played more outstandingly. After the Asia Cup and T20 World Cup mission, Dahani's address is Chattogram Challengers. Welcome Shahnawaz Dahani. Welcome to the Challengers family.”

The tall pacer has so far played 11 T20Is for Pakistan and has taken eight wickets at an economy rate of 9.05. He was a part of the Pakistan squad that reached the final of 2022 Asia Cup in the UAE where they went down to Sri Lanka. Dahani would now be hoping to make an impact in his debut BPL season and aim to be in the wickets column on a consistent basis.
