As per the rules, no active cricketer can sign contract with overseas clubs for their T20 Leagues. Rinku Singh played a match winning knock as he helped Deccan Gladiators to win the Abu Dhabu Cricket’s Ramadan T20 Cup. He scored 104 runs and bagged a couple of wickets as he led them to a victory.

Rinku played just 5 matches from Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL and managed to score just 37 runs in 5 encounters. His decision to play inn the tournament might not go down well with others. Meanwhile Irfan Pathan is also fighting to find a place in thw Caribean Premier League after putting forward his name in the CPL players draft list.
The quarter final of the Ramadan T20 Cup was held on 14th and 15tg May respectively. It was followed by a couple of semi-finals on 16th. It was Gladiators who defeated New Medical Centre by 31 runs to win the title.
