Dinesh Karthik to play in Dhaka Premier Division League

Tamil-Nadu’s wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik is the latest Indian player to ply his trade in the Bangladesh’s Dhaka Premier Division League (DPDL). After BCCI’s decision to allow its cricketers to feature in List A (50-over) tournaments abroad, more than a dozen Indian first-class cricketers have already plied their trade in DPDL this season.

Karthik will represent DPDL’s marquee team Abahani Limited that includes the likes of  Shakib Al Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, and Tamim Iqbal. The 31-year-old is set to make his DPDL debut on June 15 against Abahani’s rivals Mohammedan Sporting. The tournament, which has been the backbone of Bangladesh’s domestic cricket since 1974, features 12 private clubs owned by industrialists.

DPDL allows any number of foreign signings for a team, but only one can feature in the playing XI. The current Abahani squad already has Yusuf Pathan, Manoj Tiwary, Manvinder Bisla and Uday Kaul. It’s learned that Karthik has been invited for the Super League stage as Yusuf and Tiwary have decided to return home after ensuring the team’s qualification.
