The Melbourne Renegades have bolstered their squad with the signing of dynamic all-rounder Hassan Khan as an Overseas Replacement Player.
Known for his left-arm spin and power-hitting abilities, Hassan brings versatility and energy to the Renegades’ line-up.
The 25-year-old made a name for himself for his home country of Pakistan, captaining the side in the 2018 U/19 World Cup, before going on to play in T20 leagues all around the world showcasing his skills as both a wicket-taker and a reliable finisher with the bat.
Most recently, Khan made a big impact for San Francisco Unicorns in Major League Cricket, taking 10 wickets and scoring 204 runs at a 143.7 strike rate across his nine games, winning best domestic player of the MLC for his efforts.
General Manager, James Rosengarten, welcomed Khan’s addition to the squad.
“Hassan is an exciting young talent who gives us options in both departments,” he said. “His ability to contribute in those important middle overs with the ball and add valuable runs down the order will be crucial as we push for success this season.”
Khan expressed his excitement about joining the Renegades and playing in one of the premier T20 leagues in the world.
“The Big Bash is one of the best competitions in the world, and I’m thrilled to be part of the Renegades. “I’m looking forward to contributing and playing whatever role coach Cameron White requires of me.”
Khan’s signing takes the Renegades squad to 16 players, with two more signings to be announced shortly ahead of the club’s first game of BBL|14 on December 16 in Sydney.
