Noakhali Express have signed 20-year-old Pakistani all-rounder Maaz Sadaqat for the upcoming Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), the franchise confirmed on Monday through a press release. They stated that Sadaqat will be available from the start of the tournament.

Sadaqat enjoyed an impressive Asia Cup Rising Stars campaign in Doha. He scored 23 runs and took 1/7 against Bangladesh A, made 23 against Sri Lanka A, and produced a match-winning 37* with 2/19 against the UAE. He continued his form with 79* and 2/12 against India A, followed by a dominant 96* and 2/14 against Oman.

This will be Sadaqat’s first appearance in the BPL, and Noakhali Express will hope his strong all-round performances translate into immediate impact in the league.
