Akmal and Narine Traded to Quetta , Haasan Khan and Rahat to Qalandars

 

[ataullah]

Qalandars can retain fakhar and get Ab for first pick and still have a platinum pick or retain lynn. They should have best platinum players

Lol. So any other franchise interested in Mccullam. The guy proved to be a complete failure in the PSL so far

Lets see what dramatic improvements happen to LQ after his departure before making too many pronouncements.

 

[topspin]

It's a shame we never saw the best of him and same with Gayle but I guess it is inevitable that we will see see some top T20 batsmen failing on the most slowest substandard wickets of all time.

 

[CricVet]

Bye bye. Hopefully we will have a far better replacement. The games I saw, he achieved nothing in them. I am sure next player would be a better replacement

 

[ARK Rafay]

As we used to guess. LQ to pick gayle in 1st PSL, LQ to pick McCullum in 2nd PSL, and now LQ to pick AB in 4th PSL. No surprises!

wrong decision imo

Lahore need Steve Smith more than AB

 

[Hasan123]

I think it's a good decision by Lahore. He's coming to the end of his career and he hasn't performed. Should aim to get Smith or ABD.

 

[PakLFC]

So who is he joining now?

 

[Darkrai]

Lahore must get AB.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Would like to see McCullum still in the tournament next year. Think maybe Multan Sultan should look at him.

 

[Saj]

He's probably pleased LQ have released him.

He's had a torrid time at LQ and he needs a fresh challenge at the PSL.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Yea better to leave the bad memories behind and find a new team, enviroment

 

[CricketDon]

Thank God he’s gone. He spoke as if he performs st kohli level. However in reality did nothing not once.

I hope we retain Steve smith ahead of AB. He’s way better and also a strong captain. I’d like to see:

Zaman
Smith
Lynn
Akmal
Narine
Bravo

As the top 6. With smith being the anchor and glue that holds this batting line up together.

Lahore need a strong captain figure and I think smith is the best in the business.

LQ traded Narine and Akmal with Rahat and Hasan from QG.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMA DAM MAST QALANDAR!

Can't wait to see AB in the green and blacks! We will be lifting the trophy this time around under AB!

 

[QalandarFan]

If we get AB we will probably have the best batting line-up, and with Hasan Khan, Yasir Shah, and The Fizz the bowling is looking pretty solid as well.

Time to lift that trophy this year!

AB is probably the best batsman in pool of PSL players, and is a proven success in these conditions, a match winner who can single-handedly win us matches. It would be foolish of us not to select him.

 

[Hasan123]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMA DAM MAST QALANDAR!

Would keep AB away from captaincy. I don't think he is a leader.

But would be a good signing for LQ and I'm delighted to see him in the PSL.

 

[Bewal Express]

He was pretty clueless at the Qalanders.

 

[Michael Chopra]

The Fizz was underutilized last year but I hope this year he performs well. He deserves Diamond category.

 

[QalandarFan]

Would keep AB away from captaincy. I don't think he is a leader.

But would be a good signing for LQ and I'm delighted to see him in the PSL.

Yeah I'm not a fan of giving captaincy to overseas players either would like to see Fakhar take up the captaincy.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Qalandars got rid of Akmal, now they won't stay bottom.

 

[Michael Chopra]

Yeah I'm not a fan of giving captaincy to overseas players either would like to see Fakhar take up the captaincy.

At first, I would like to see him getting in better form in LOs or otherwise, he should not be retained either and sent to Peshawar Zalmi.

 

[Hasan123]

Yeah I'm not a fan of giving captaincy to overseas players either would like to see Fakhar take up the captaincy.

Fakhar would be a good choice as captain. Makes the team on merit and can lead through performance. Don't want any oldies as captain.

 

[QalandarFan]

You've gotta be kidding me

 

[QalandarFan]

True, but I doubt LQ management would give Fakhar captaincy, hope I'm proven wrong though.

 

[Hasan123]

True, but I doubt LQ management would give Fakhar captaincy, hope I'm proven wrong though.

I think they will go with AB or Smith as captain if they sign one of them up. Smith would be fine as a captain but I am not convinced by ABD as a captain.

 

[QalandarFan]

If we could get Munro in place of Lynn along with AB and Fakhar that top 3 is killer.

I would like to see this top 5

Fakhar Zaman (C)
Colin Munro
AB De Villiers
Agha Salman
Sam Billings (WK)

Not sure if Billings is available but that top 5 is solid in my opinion we can have a back up accumulator if things do not work out, but honestly I believe that Salman can play that role. Plus this top 3 unlike the one last year is destructive and CONSISTENT. Last year it looked like no one barring Fakhar/Salman knew how to hold a bat they would just wildly slog.

However, it is very unlikely that we get both Munro and AB, Munro will most likely be picked in the first round.

 

[QalandarFan]

They're not picking Smith I can say that for certain and rightfully so you have the first pick, why wouldn't you pick up the best batsman in the pool? Multan will get second pick I believe, and they should certainly pick up Smith they need both his captaincy and batting.

this is such a joke

Smith and AB should be playing for big city teams such as Lahore or Karachi.

Lol i can bet smith has not even heard of multan

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

It will be funny if IU picks McCullum, makes him the captain and wins the title again. They have the back room staff that is more than capable of making champion squads and winning titles. After all they need a captain to replace Misbah and Duminy.

Yeah but Multan has second pick and I am sure they will pick Smith.

 

[Savak]

So far Umar Akmal has owned Mccullam. Atleast he got picked by a franchise whereas Mccullam is no where to be seen

 

[hailian]

I wish someone tell the brain fade Qalandars to pick Sam Billings as a wicket keeper (if available). They are investing on Phil Salt in Sydney who is a garbage keeper on spin bowling. I'm so upset that they have traded Naraine and Akmal to Quetta. So disappointed!

 

[hailian]

Yeah but Multan has second pick and I am sure they will pick Smith.

I'm sure too, wasim akram will always go for Smith and will make him a captain too. So Lahore may get Lynn again. I'm not sure if Karachi will retain Munro and Quetta release Rashid Khan. if they do then lahore should get Rashid Khan first then Munro or Lynn.

 

[MenInG]

Lol. So any other franchise interested in Mccullam. The guy proved to be a complete failure in the PSL so far

Now Head Coach for England - will he be a success there?

Doubt he will have much success with England.
