The 31-year-old Mustafizur has played 15 Tests, 126 ODIs and 130 T20Is for the Tigers, taking 388 wickets across formats in international cricket.

The left-arm paceman also 331 T20 matches in various leagues around the world, with his overall record at 423 wickets, but has never played in the BBL previously.

In a statement released by the Renegades, Mustafizur said he was looking forward to calling the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) his home when the tournament gets underway.

"I am looking forward to playing in the BBL for the first time with the Melbourne Renegades," Mustafizur said. "It will be special to play at the MCG as my home ground and I'm excited to join my team-mates and bring my experience to the squad."

New Renegades coach Luke Ronchi added: "Mustafizur is a proven match-winner in T20 cricket all over the world. His ability to take wickets in both the powerplay and at the death is exactly what we wanted in our attack."
