Sikandar,36, has played 123 ODIs, 66 T20Is, and 17 Test matches for Zimbabwe. His all-round ability to contribute with both bat & ball makes him an excellent asset in T20 cricket. He has set his price at INR 50 lakhs for the 2023 IPL auction.

Raza is a well-known name in Nepal cricket, having played the last edition of the Everest Premier League (EPL). He smashed 129 runs and picked up four wickets from five matches playing for Biratnagar Warriors.

In the recently concluded T20 World Cup in Australia, Raza pulled off a stunning win against Pakistan, one of the T20 World Cup’s biggest-ever results.

Raza joins the likes of Joshua Persaud, Andre McCarthy, Hussain Talat, Keon Joseph and Gauranshu Sharma among the foreign players for the Super Kings.

Biratnagar will kick off their Nepal T20 campaign on 24 December against Lumbini All-Stars.
