| Lasith Malinga becomes the CPL's second high-profile Sri Lankan signing of the day |
The Barbados Tridents have also made a change to their squad, signing Azhar Mahmood
to replace Umar Akmal. The allrounder is a sought-after player in most
major domestic T20 leagues around the world. He is the fourth-highest
wicket-taker in T20 cricket, with 213 wickets from 188 games, behind
Alfonso Thomas, Malinga and Dirk Nannes.
Malinga, one of the most lethal fast bowlers in the shorter formats, is
the third Sri Lankan to play in the CPL. Muttiah Muralitharan is part of
the Jamaica Tallawahs while Mahela Jaywardene is set to join
the Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel from Thursday. Malinga will be the
fourth overseas player for Guyana, who had earlier signed the New
Zealand pair of Martin Guptill and James Franklin along with Hafeez in
the original squad.
