Cricketics Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 He is a quality bowler from USA and plays regularly for Trinidad which is also from the same franchise and is the most successful team in Carribean Premier League. He was also born in Pakistan but is an American citizen. Good to see a USA player picked in the IPL. https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/29866116/ipl-2020-ali-khan-joins-kolkata-knight-riders-harry-gurney-replacement
sourab10forever Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Congratulations to all US based ICFers
Gollum Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) So IPL can pick a Pakistani American but not Bangladeshi superstars like Mushi, Tamim, Mahmudullah, Sabbir not to forget our very own brothers Soumya and Liton. Edited September 12, 2020 by Gollum Skipper 1
Franco Vazquez Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Good bowler. Probably better than Gurney

Ankit_sharma03 Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Good pick, gurney was another unadkat only
Sandeep99 Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Russell, Narine, Cummins, Narine, Ferguson... Warrier, Nagarkoti, Mavi, Prasidh.... I'm not sure if Ali Khan is going to get a game and that too in foreign quota. But you never know with Shahrukh Khan's Pakistani fascination. Edited September 14, 2020 by Sandeep99
Gollum Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Not a single Bengali in KKR but they want a Pakistani. Ok then, hope no Bengali supports this garbage franchise. SRK even insulted Dada in initial seasons and filled his side with Bakis. Brand ambassador of Bengal my ass, enemy of Bengal....expected from Mamata. Wanted RCB to finish last, now changed my mind, hope KKR is humiliated, will be double nice if Saha gets another 100 against this team. SK_IH, Real McCoy and Sandeep99 3

The Realist Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 "Not a terrorist" Khan picking up namesake 40 year old (likely real age given background) journeymen/refugees to play cricket
ShoonyaSifar Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 A 29 year old bowler from USA with a nothing record. Clearly there are extraneous reasons for his selection

That's a good investment. 2-3 other picks as well who could have come cheap, and Bangladeshis are emotional, passionate fans without too many entertainment outlets, our time zone as well meaning lots of interest in the tourney. Having some Toyger players means capturing their market (170 million pop and fast growing middle class like India), at least from financial side makes sense. I can't understand the snubbing. Also IMO every franchise must be forced to pick a couple of local players, at least for grooming purposes. KKR not having Bong players is insulting, we even have a good domestic side now.

Gollum Posted September 15, 2020 Posted September 15, 2020 Bengalis must raise their voice, SRK is using our people, playing with our emotions for his selfish reasons. All his fake love for Kolkata/Bengal is even more cringey than Dhoni's antics with CSK/Chennai. More power to brother Garga who has seen though this fraud. Begum made this guy Brand Ambassador of the state, hope it becomes election issue next year.

This ali kahn better be good for a pick. its strange that they go to usa to pick a player when they have bengalis on both side of the border to pick. Im highly suspicious of srk he maybe doing some money laundering operations via usa to pak using this guy. and thsnk god this ipl wont be played in india. what trouble this guy could bring in mini pakistan aka kolkata. this guy could be a cia or isi agent get your detective glasses on
