Melbourne Renegades's Imran Tahir pulls out of BBL due to personal reasons

South African veteran legspinner Imran Tahir has pulled out of the Big Bash League due to personal reasons.

The Melbourne Renegades have suffered another blow with after the 41-year-old spin bowler withdrawing from the ongoing tournament for personal reasons.


The Renegades coach Michael Klinger expressed his disappointment with the unavailability of Pakistani-born South African cricketer.

“He’s a great player so it is a loss. But at the same time we’ve seen Noor Ahmad a couple of games ago, a bowler who people haven’t seen that much, it might actually work in our favor. He’ll now be able to play a fair chunk of that back end of the season, with Imad Wasim. Nabi has to go home for international duty. It is a loss but at the same time what a huge opportunity for young Noor to come in and have a huge impact on the BBL,” Klinger said as quoted by ESPNCricinfo.
