Nikhil Dutta, Nitish Kumar and Hamza Tariq have been selected by teams competing in the Carribean Premier League. Peter Della Penna reports for CricInfo:-
Just minutes after exiting his morning mid-term in Calgary, Tariq opened up his laptop and saw his name and profile picture on the CPL draft live stream being dragged with a mouse into the Knight Riders pool. The Americas team-mates may have been separated by 1900 miles, but the moment was just as overwhelming for Tariq in Alberta as it was for Khan in Ohio.

“All I can tell you is my eyes are red at the moment,” Tariq said. “It’s a pretty big thing for me and I’ve been working hard towards getting something like this for a while and finally I’ve got it. It’s just something very special. I had a little bit of a preference of playing for the Knight Riders and getting picked by them is something very special.”

“I’m very blessed. The prayers from my friends, family and well-wishers, it’s all because of them. I didn’t think that I would get picked, especially by the Knight Riders, but getting picked by my favorite team is something that I wasn’t expecting and something very very special to me.”
