31 October 2016

Benny Howell is all set for the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) which begins this Friday (4 November).

The 28-year-old – who was the top wicket taker in this year’s NatWest T20 Blast – will play for the Khulna Titans after recently agreeing to stay at the Brightside Ground until the end of 2019.

His form this summer in the NatWest T20 Blast convinced Khulna Titans to make Benny one of 31 overseas players to be signed by BPL s sides ahead of the draft.

The former Hampshire man will line up alongside the likes of West Indies batsman Lendl Simmons and Pakistan paceman Junaid Khan for the Titans. His opponents will include the likes of Chris Gayle, Shahid Afridi and Mahela Jayawardene.

The Khulna Titans will play 12 matches in total. The final group match will take place on Sunday 4 December.

The grand final will take place on Friday 9 December.

Everyone from Gloucestershire Cricket would like to wish Benny Howell & the Khulna Titans the best of luck!
