Pakistan's explosive batsman Umar Akmal has signed a deal with Guyana Amazon Warriors for the 2015 edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) tournament.

The 25-year-old batsman, who has to his credit an impressive 1,293 runs in 58 innings in his Twenty-20 career, will join the team in July after finishing his spell with Leicestershire.

This would be his second spell in the tournament as he had previously played for Barbados Tridents in 2013.

Akmal said that he is really looking forward to playing in the CPL again, adding that cricket is always fast-paced in this format, the PakPassion reported.

The right-hander added that it would be an excellent chance as a professional to share the dressing room with some of the top proponents of the T20 format.
