CPL 2017:Ashley Nurse Replaces Mehedi Hasan In Knight Riders Camp
Aug 21, 2017 at 6:19 AM
Ashley Nurse has replaced the all-rounder Mehedi Hasan in the Trinbago Knight Riders camp for the remainder of Carribean Premier League.
Mehedi has been selected in the Bangladesh squad for the first Test against Australia and has to fly back to the county. Though Mehedi didn’t get even one game before his departure, his replacement is expected to come, and straightaway gets a game in their next match on Wednesday against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
“Ashley gives us another spin option. He has been playing some league cricket in England, so he comes fresh to us from there. Dwayne Bravo was very keen to get him into the squad given that we have still got some big games coming up against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, Jamaica Tallawahs and Barbados Tridents. He will have a big role to play giving us another spin option,” said Head Coach Simon Katich.
