Former Australian Test opener Simon Katich will lead Duranto Rajshahi in the second edition of Bangladesh Premier League, the franchise said on Thursday.
Katich, who led Perth Scorchers to the Big Bash final this season, will have Bangladesh opener Tamim Iqbal as his deputy for the tournament.
Katich will join the team after the end of Big Bash final against Brisbane Heat on January 19 and will miss the first two matches of Duranto Rajshahi. In that case, Tamim will lead the side for the interim period. Duranto Rajshahi will open their campaign against Chittagong Kings on Saturday.
