The New York Strikers, renowned for their competitive spirit and international success, are set to begin an exciting new chapter as they rebrand to NY Lagos Strikers and join the highly anticipated Zim Afro T10 league. This marks a strategic step in the franchise’s expansion, aimed at competing in diverse and emerging cricket environments.
NY Lagos Strikers have assembled a strong squad for their debut, making several impactful signings, including Pakistan’s Asif Ali, Sri Lankan all-rounder Thisara Perera, Zimbabwean pacer Blessing Muzarabani, and Afghanistan’s Najibullah Zadran. Other key players include Binura Fernando, Akhilesh Bodugum, and Oshane Thomas, all bringing unique strengths to the team.
Asif Ali’s explosive batting adds depth, while Thisara Perera’s all-round skills and experience make him a game-changer. Blessing Muzarabani’s pace, combined with Oshane Thomas’s speed, creates a formidable bowling attack. Meanwhile, Najibullah Zadran’s power-hitting and Akhilesh Bodugum’s solid technique round off the lineup, positioning the Strikers as a strong contender in the Zim Afro T10.
The franchise’s participation in the Zim Afro T10 marks a bold new direction, as it aims to establish itself in emerging cricket markets like Africa, building on its international presence across continents.
