Historic shift to Player Auction Model signals a new era for the Pakistan Super League

Wow getting Saim & Maaz together. That is incredible. Makes up for the poor Marnus signing.
Got a good bowler for Akif too.

Saim got massive amounts of money so not sure what their remaining budget is looking like but this is a great start for Hyderabad.

They have got their top 4 sorted.
Now look for finishers spinners and pacers
 
Saim
Maaz
Labu
Usman khan

That is a good top order by hyderabad


Otth sialkot has taken bowlers with nawaz or smith being the captain ig. (When u have smith u should make him captain tho)

Labuschagne is a strange choice. However Hyderabad’s local picks are fire.

BUT, if that is the actual contract for Saim then that’s insane. Because you’ve effectively spent a fifth of your purse on Saim. That means your remaining squad will be domestic journeymen and young players. It’s a risk, but I suppose that you can still find diamonds in domestic cricket and youth.

They can still get a someone like awais zafar in auction.
Bro has been in tremendous form lately.
Ideal no 5 for this batting lineup
 
WOW, Hyderabad’s local picks are phenomenal.

I said yesterday, that making Saim Ayub the icon player would be brilliant & that’s what they have done. But bringing in Maaz as an emerging pick with Usman Khan as a keeper & good player of spin is superb. Akif Javed is a decent pacer who needs to work on his leap but other than that, a decent pacer.

Marnus is a random signing but the local picks a brilliant.

Labuschagne is really a strange choice.
They could have signed up even mark chapman or tim robinson instead
 
depends on the price they paid for labu, could be a good money ball signing, ok batter, leggie, medium pacer, very good fielder. if they got him at a good price hes a potentially good package. also from a media branding pov, hes a very good brand ambassador, could elevate the franchises presence and capture eye balls. i think its a decent signing all things considered.
 
The PCB needs to get strict with the franchises and make it clear to them that the Direct Signing amounts are for elite players, not useless third grade players.

Had a feeling it was the 11th but why couldn't they do it on a weekend is beyond everyone's opinion

There was a proposal to do it in Sri Lanka so that the national team players would be available and most importantly the captain of the franchises available but this was rejected by most of the Franchises overall.

It's not even about doing it in SL especially during a WT20, but doing it on a weekend.

They proberly went with someone who can bat the 20 overs they already have Saim and Maaz who will go from ball one on the attack and they have Usman.
