LONDON: Afghanistan all-rounder Mohammad Nabi will join Northamptonshire for the 2021 edition of the T20 Blast competition. Subject to approval by the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB), Nabi will remain with Northamptonshire for the entirety of the 2021 Blast group stages, as well as being available for the quarter-final following his stint with the London Spirit in The Hundred. "I've always enjoyed playing the Vitality Blast in England and it will be exciting to play at Northamptonshire." Nabi said in a statement. "Hopefully we can do well," he added.

Nabi currently sits atop the ICC rankings as the world's number one T20 all-rounder and head coach David Ripley was looking forward to having that kind of international quality in his side. IANS
