Bangladesh Premier League 2019: 5 overseas batsmen to watch out for

#3 David Warner (Sylhet Sixers)

David Warner

Aussie star David Warner will feature in the Bangladesh Premier League this year for the Sylhet Sixers. This will be one of the many T20 leagues which he has played after getting banned for a year by the Australian Cricket Board. This will certainly be a major boost for him before rejoining the team as the BPL features more talented and big-name international stars who he 'll have to face on his return.

One of the most devastating and consistent T20 players, Warner's addition seems to give a strong look to the Sixers' roster featuring dangerous batsmen like Nicholas Pooran and bowlers like Sandeep Lamichchane. Warner will certainly be a player to keep an eye on.

#2 Steve Smith (Comilla Victorians)

After a controversial period, the former Aussie skipper was cleared to play in the Bangladesh Premier League by the BCB and all eyes will be on how Steve fares in this tournament. His addition will certainly benefit the Victorians who won the title in 2015.

Smith has been a valuable T20 player with great strokeplay and can single-handedly turn the outcome of the match. In a move which will help both Smith and the popularity of the league, the BPL officials will be delighted to have him on board. He'll certainly be a great add.

#1 AB de Villiers( Rangpur Riders)

Mr. 360 AB de Villiers will join Rangpur Riders set-up in the upcoming BPL. Post his international retirement in 2018, he has played in a couple of T20 Leagues and had a great outing with the Tshwane Spartans in the Mzanzi Super League despite the team failing to do too well.

A household name in T20 cricket, ABD has been one of the most consistent and feared batsman and he certainly has it in him to light up this league. With no international pressure on him, the Proteas legend can score freely and it will be exciting to see how the whole thing pans up. AB de Villiers is undoubtedly someone who you should keep your eye on.
