Dubai [UAE], February 7 (ANI): England cricketers Sam Curran and Phil Salt are all set to link up with the Desert Vipers for the business end of this season’s International League T20 (ILT20).
The duo will slot in with the Vipers losing Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shadab Khan and Azam Khan ahead of the start of the Pakistan Super League, while Wanindu Hasaranga has returned to Sri Lanka for international duty.
The pair are both arriving in Dubai off the back of appearances in the SA20 competition in South Africa – Phil for Pretoria Capitals and Sam with MI Cape Town – and both will bring with them exceptional CVs when it comes to short-form cricket.
Sam was the player of the tournament when England won the ICC T20 World Cup in Australia in 2022, finishing as the joint second-highest wicket-taker – level with new Vipers team-mate Bas de Leede and behind only Hasaranga, who took 15.
