Kent have announced they have signed Afghanistan international Mohammad Nabi for their 2019 Vitality Blast campaign.

The allrounder was a member of the Melbourne Renegades side which won the 2019 Big Bash, and will be available for the first 11 matches of the Blast.

He is ranked at number 17 in the T20 Player Index, having briefly been in the top 10 after an impressive IPL campaign for Sunrisers Hyderabad. His T20 stats over the past three years:

Matches Win % Titles Runs Strike Rate Boundary % Wickets Economy Dot Ball %
108 63.9 2 1543 145.0 18.0 104 6.93 39.7


Nabi said: "I’m very pleased to be joining Kent as I have heard good things about the club. Wherever I play, I always want my team to be successful and I hope I can contribute to wins at this famous county."

Kent's director of cricket Paul Downton added: "We are thrilled to have beaten several other counties to sign Nabi for our Vitality Blast campaign.

"He has been an outstanding performer in T20 International cricket as well the global T20 competitions for a number of years. He is a proven match-winner capable of taking the game away from teams with both bat and ball, making him an exciting addition to our squad this year."
