Cape Town - Proteas spinner Imran Tahir will join his former team-mate AB de Villiers in the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL), which gets under way next year.
The Sylhet Sixers announced on their Twitter account this weekend the signing of Tahir.
Tahir will be in the presence of former Australian vice-captain David Warner in the Sixers change room.
Warner is currently serving his one-year ban from Cricket Australia following his role in the infamous Newlands ball-tampering scandal earlier this year.
Warner will captain the Sixers in next month's tournament.
