Bangladesh leg-spinner Rishad Hossain has been picked by Hobart Hurricanes during the Australian Big Bash League players' draft Sunday.
The Twenty20 franchise Hurricanes, based in Tasmania, posted the news on their official social media channels, saying: "Bangladeshi Tiger has joined the Hurricanes! Welcome to Rishad, an exciting young leg spinner who will take the BBL 14 by storm!"
Rishad will be only the second Bangladeshi player to feature in the BBL after Shakib al Hasan.
Shakib has played in BBL for two separate franchises in his career so far.
The star all-rounder played for Adelaide Strikers in 2014 and for Melbourne Renegades in 2015.
Rishad had a brilliant T20 World Cup in the USA and the West Indies as the leggie took 14 wickets in the global tournament.
Rishad has played 23 T20 Internationals and three One Day Internationals.
