SYDNEY: Pakistani leg-spinner Shadab Khan has joined two-time defending champions Sydney Sixers for the remainder of the Big Bash League- 11 season. Shadab has joined the Sixers as an overseas player and comes following a season-ending neck stress fracture for 24-year-old Australian off-spinner Ben Manenti and short-term calf strain to veteran spinner Steve O'Keefe.
The 23-year-old Shadab made his debut for Pakistan in all three formats while still a teenager and now has 64 T20I matches under his belt, having taken 73 wickets at an economy rate of 7.11. He also averages 18.33 with the bat at a strike rate of 136.81. IANS
