Veteran leg-spinner Pravin Tambe has been picked up by Trinbago Knight Riders in the players draft and thus becomes the first Indian cricketer to be signed up by a Caribbean Premier League (CPL) franchise.
The 48-year-old, who has retired from first-class cricket, will need a No Objection Certificate from the BCCI though.
Tambe was picked by Kolkata Knight Riders during the IPL auction last December but was subsequently disqualified by the Governing Council for having taken part in a UAE T10 league.
The former Mumbai legspinner has played for the likes of Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Lions in the IPL and in 33 matches, took 28 wickets including a two-ball hat-trick.
He is the oldest to have played an IPL game after having made his debut at 41.
Meanwhile, Rashid Khan, Marcus Stoinis, Ross Taylor, Tambe and Carlos Brathwaite were also picked by the various CPL franchise through the draft process carried out remotely.
This year 8th Edition of CPL T20, i.e. CPL 2020 will be held from 19th August to 26th September 20, 2020.
