He had an excellent SR in the domestic T20 tournament 'Breakout T20 League' where he scored 89 runs in five innings at a SR of 162, often batting at #7. He provides a right-arm medium pace bowling option as well, giving a sixth bowling option to the captain.
Riyad Latiff
Riayd Latiff is an 18-year-old leg spinner who first came to limelight in the Breakout T20 league earlier this year. He picked a four-wicket haul there, helping the Guyana team win their only game in the tournament. Under Imran Tahir, he will be having a great opportunity to learn and develop.
