Sharjeel has not even been playing the National T20 yet somehow he is in the team. These PSL Franchises really do make a mockery out of merit
 
Pakistanis have a weird obsession with Australia. Probably has alot to do with the decades of mental disintegration the cricket team has suffered at their hands, but I still don't understand the obsession with going big on B/C grade Australian players and then making them captain of the team too.

I doubt Labuschagne would get a contract in any T20 league in the world. He has played all of 1 T20I for Australia and has a T20 strike-rate of 126. On what grounds was he picked, let alone made captain? He was not even captain of the Brisbane Heat in the recent BBL.

Ashton Turner captaining Multan Sultans makes more sense - he recently lead Perth Scorchers to the BBL title, but it's still a weird choice considering it's his second season and last season he was struggling to even make the playing eleven. On top of that, when you have Steve Smith in the side - one of the sharpest minds in world cricket - why would you even consider anyone else?
