PSL first draft

Team selection hasn't been completed yet. Draft continues tomorrow. Feel sorry for KP though, his team appears to be the weakest to date.. Btw both me and kash will be supporting Peshawar zalmis... Mine for namesake only... Kash because his brother kamran Akmal is in and his cousin hafeez



The teams as they stand:

Islamabad United: 1 Shane Watson, 2 Andre Russell, 3 Misbah-ul-Haq, 4 Samuel Badree, 5 Mohammad Irfan, 6 Brad Haddin, 7 Sharjeel Khan, 8 Mohammad Sami, 9 Khalid Latif

Karachi Kings: 1 Shoaib Malik, 2 Shakib Al Hasan, 3 Sohail Tanvir, 4 Imad Wasim, 5 Ravi Bopara, 6 Lendl Simmons, 7 Mohammad Amir, 8 Bilawal Bhatti, 9 James Vince

Peshawar Zalmi: 1 Shahid Afridi, 2 Wahab Riaz, 3 Darren Sammy, 4 Kamran Akmal, 5 Mohammad Hafeez, 6 Chris Jordan, 7 Tamim Iqbal, 8 Junaid Khan, 9 Jim Allenby

Quetta Gladiators: 1 Kevin Pietersen, 2 Sarfraz Ahmed, 3 Ahmed Shehzad, 4 Anwar Ali, 5 Jason Holder, 6 Luke Wright, 7 Zulfiqar Babar, 8 Umar Gul, 9 Elton Chigumbura

Lahore Qalandars: 1 Chris Gayle, 2 Dwayne Bravo, 3 Umar Akmal, 4 Mohammad Rizwan, 5 Yasir Shah, 6 Shoaib Maqsood, 7 Mustafizur Rahman, 8 Kevon Cooper, 9 Cameron Delport

Looking forward to this.
Hoping it will be a success.

Anyone know who will be showing the games on TV ?

A14, Your team should be Islamabad baring in mind where you are from before you got the red British passport 6 months ago.

My team will be Lahore

Bod - not sure if anyone is showing it here from the biggies... But one of the Asian channels will.

Kash, Islamabad team on paper doesn't look all that but Shane Watson, Andre Russell, Sam Badree, Brad Haddin and Sam Billings looks like a fab overseas roster for them...

So many English players have been picked when they will be in SA playing the limited over series? Last T20 in SA is 21st Feb and this PSL ends on Feb 23rd

Too much T-20.We already had 2 domestic 2-20 leagues in Pakistan during the year. This will adversely impact first class cricket in Pakistan

Any of you guys watching this?

This is a desperate tournament. Hopefully, for their sakes, they'll learn from this and it may be decent next time.
