CPL 2017: 5 debutants to look out for

#3 Mohammad Nabi

Nabi had a pretty decent start to his CPL career

One of the main reasons why Afghanistan are currently a full member of the ICC is their all-rounder and former captain Mohammad Nabi who is undoubtedly their finest cricketer at the moment. Nabi put in some really impressive performances during the Bangladesh Premier League where he helped the Chittagong Vikings reach the semi-finals by scoring 230 runs with the bat and picking up 19 wickets with the ball.

Nabi was also bought by the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL auction for 30 lakhs but played only three matches. He became the first Afghan player in the CPL when he was bought by the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots for $90,000 USD.

Nabi played the Patriots’ first match of the tournament against the Guyana Amazing Warriors and bowled a very economical spell of 0/17 from his four overs. He did not have much to offer with the bat as the match was already sealed by the time he came out to bat.

With a fairly decent performance on his CPL debut, Mohammad Nabi will definitely be somebody to look out for as the St. Kitts and Nevis will try to better their bottom-place finish from last year.
