ABU DHABI, Sept 23 (IANS): Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi has been signed by Qalandars -- one of the two new teams alongside Bangla Tigers at this year''s T10 League - as icon player.
"I was very excited to be a part of it (T10) from the time I heard it was going to be played in Abu Dhabi," ESPNcricinfo quoted Afridi as saying at a press conference.
"The first two editions of T10 were in Sharjah and now it is in Abu Dhabi. We will be here to provide fans all the entertainment in this short format of the game.
