Abrar Ahmed Signs Contract with San Francisco Unicorns in MLC

This is the spinner’s first signing in a USA league

Pakistani rising star spinner Abrar Ahmed is set to make his debut in the United States cricket scene after signing a contract with the San Francisco Unicorns in the Major League Cricket (MCL).

This marks a significant development for both Ahmed and the burgeoning American professional cricket league.

This signing holds particular importance for Abrar Ahmed as it’s his first-ever contract with a US cricket league.

The young spinner has been making waves in international cricket, particularly in Test matches, where he’s already claimed 17 wickets in just 4 appearances for Pakistan. His impressive performances have earned him a spot in the national T20 World Cup squad as well.

Abrar’s talent and potential have not gone unnoticed. The San Francisco Unicorns, one of the eight teams competing in the MCL’s inaugural season, have secured his services.

This move presents an exciting opportunity for both parties. Abrar will get to showcase his skills on a new stage and potentially gain valuable experience playing in a different cricketing environment. The Unicorns, on the other hand, will be bolstering their bowling attack with a talented young spinner who can potentially be a match-winner.

Abrar’s signing is a positive development for Major League Cricket as well. The league is striving to establish itself as a premier destination for professional cricket in the United States.

By attracting talented young players like Ahmed, the MCL can generate greater interest and excitement among fans and potentially attract more high-caliber players in the future.
With the MCL season kicking off in July 2024, cricket fans in the US can look forward to seeing Abrar in action for the San Francisco Unicorns. His performances will be closely watched, not just by Pakistani supporters but also by those following the growth of Major League Cricket.

This move could be a stepping stone for Abrar’s international career and a significant moment for American professional cricket.
