BPL 2016: 6 overseas players to watch out for

#1 Mohammad Shahzad

Mohammad Shahzad has shown ample proof of how dangerous he can be

Wicket-keeper batsman Mohammad Shahzad is easily the best player to have emerged from Afghanistan so far. The stocky cricketer has won many admirers in recent times due to his ability to tear apart opposition bowling attacks with his skilful and aggressive batting.

Shahzad has appeared in 48 T20Is for his country so far and has a tally of 1367 runs at an average of 29.71. He has scored his runs at an impressive strike rate of 136.42 and recorded a top score of 118 not out in a T20I game against Zimbabwe earlier this year.

Mohammad Shahzad will be in action for the Rangpur Riders side in the ongoing BPL season and there are sure to be a lot of expectations from the Afghan superstar. This makes Shahzad one of the overseas cricketers to watch out for in the tournament.
