The Delhi Bulls have bolstered their lineup with the addition of two Pakistani cricketers, including all-rounder Iftikhar Ahmed, ahead of the ninth edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 League, set to take place from November 18 to 30.
The franchise confirmed the signings of Iftikhar and young pacer Ubaid Shah through its official social media channels.
For 19-year-old Ubaid Shah, this will be his first taste of international franchise cricket.
The right-arm quick, younger brother of Naseem Shah, impressed during his Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 campaign for Multan Sultans, where he claimed 12 wickets in 11 matches.
Iftikhar Ahmed has played 66 international T20 matches for Pakistan, scoring nearly 1,000 runs at a strike rate of 129.10.
The hard-hitting middle-order batter has become a reliable presence in short-format leagues worldwide. His experience spans the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), and Lanka Premier League (LPL).
Earlier, the Delhi Bulls had strengthened their pace department with the signings of Salman Irshad and Mir Hamza during the player draft held on October 19.
Elsewhere, the draft also saw Pakistani players making their mark across franchises.
Deccan Gladiators picked up spinner Usman Tariq, who recently starred in the CPL 2025 with 20 wickets in 10 games, and young pacer Ali Raza.
Meanwhile, Zaman Khan, Asif Ali, and Akif Javed will represent Ajman Titans, adding more Pakistani flavour to this year’s T10 spectacle.
