Renegades have a trio of spinners including Mohammad Nabi, Ahmad and Imad Wasim in their squad. The Renegades coach Michael Klinger said that while it was disappointing to lose Tahir, it would give an opportunity to Noor Ahmad. It is a loss but at the same time what a huge opportunity for young Noor to come in and have a huge impact on the BBL," he added.
