Sydney, Nov 29 (Ians) Big Bash League (Bbl) side Sydney Thunder have included Pakistan’s T20I leg-spinner Usman Qadir in their bowling arsenal for the upcoming season. The 29-year-old will provide the Trevor Bayliss-coached Thunder with cover while rising star Tanveer Sangha recovers from the back stress injury that’s frustrated the start to his season.
Qadir, son of the late Abdul Qadir — one of world cricket’s greatest-ever exponents of leg-spin bowling –, will arrive to the Sydney Showground Stadium boasting an intimate knowledge of Australian playing conditions, said a Thunder statement on Tuesday.
Besides playing Premier cricket in Sydney and Adelaide, Qadir also represented Western Australia and the Perth Scorchers during the 2018/19 season.
After he declared his desire to represent Australia in the 2020 World T20 Cup, Qadir was selected to play in the Prime Minister’s XI which defeated a strong South Africa side in Canberra. He finished...

Andrew Gilchrist continues our writers' favourite films series with an elegant Scorsese adaptation of an Edith Wharton classic
Does this review need refining? Peel off those silk gloves and get your hands dirty, or waltz on down to the comments thread
One rainy Sunday way back in the 1990s, a bunch of hungover blokes decided to stop lazing around on sofas and get a video out. Something by Martin Scorsese maybe; that was the only advice given to the person who went to the shop. We wanted macho men shooting each other in the face. And we ended up with 19th-century aristocrats wondering whether to buy each other flowers. But it didn't really matter. There are gangsters in The Age of Innocence. It's just that they're all wearing top hats.
