BPL 2016: 6 overseas players to watch out for

#5 Dawid Malan

Malan has been a regular in the England Lions squad

Dawid Malan is a highly experienced and talented batsman who plays his domestic cricket in England. The left-hander, who started playing his cricket in South Africa, has over 100 T20 games under his belt in which he has scored more than 3000 runs at a solid average of 34.59 and a couple of centuries to his name.

In this year’s edition of the NatWest T20 Blast, Malan was the highest run-scorer for Middlesex with 368 runs at a terrific strike rate of just under 148. The 29-year old also played in the inaugural edition of the Pakistan Super League as part of the Peshawar Zalmi side.

The 2016 BPL will see Dawid Malan in action for last year’s runners-up, Barisal Bulls, and will give company to the likes of Carlos Brathwaite and Thisara Perera as one of the team’s overseas players. A lesser-known fact about Malan is that he has played List-A cricket in Bangladesh before in the 2013/14 & 2014/15 seasons of the Dhaka Premier League.
