Chattogram Royals have made a big signing ahead of the 12th season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). Abrar Ahmed, a mystery spinner from Pakistan, has officially joined the team. He is their first foreign player of the season.

Abrar is known for his tricky variations and good control in longer formats, so he will help Chattogram a lot with their spin attack. The 25-year-old has been on the radar of many BPL teams after his strong performances in international cricket. Chattogram managed to sign him before the competition for him increased.
