There is nothing worse than being a Karachi fan. Squad isn't as miserable as last few years but come on man, it is filled with uncles and devoid of any young talent barring Minhas & Abbas.

Riazullah selected in the emerg and the question is why? They did the same nonsense thing picking guys like Saad who were U19. What are the odds any U19 player is going to be useful in PSL is beyond me. As an U19 you are extremely raw and as a batter, you hardly have any power developed which is what you need in T20's. No idea who Fawad Ali and it doesn't seem like he's ever even played domestic. Picking him when someone useful like Ubaid Shah is available is utter nonsense. You have a genuine proper bowler available and you pick some complete random.

Glad they got Abbas Afridi though. Bit surprised they got Jamal too but I guess considering the lack of impactful bats, they will try to build a deeper batting lineup. Khushdil being picked up seems annoying. He might be good but the problem will be the same as last season where Minhas & his role gets blocked. I hope that's not the case but that would be my concern.

It's quite lame & telling that Karachi batting wise has no great local talent. Their batting will rely on Warner/Williamson/Vince which tells you what an incredibly poor job they've done at finding bats despite being at the bottom regularly.
 
David Warner as KK captain? Can that ignite Karachi's interest in the depleting franchise?
 
Confused by Kane Williamson being in supplementary. Does that mean he gets a significantly lower paycheque than Warner?
 
I still believe they have a decent squad this year. Last year they were just abysmally awful
They were hoping to make a wholesome squad like they have in Multan Sultans last year

Instead, they received Chittar all around the world and Karachi for the travesty they selected! Deservedly so! The countries most intelligent and cosmopolitan city doesn’t care about wholesomeness! They want real cricketers and not KPop performers
 
which player gives u a positive vibe this year? i cant see any tbh
Well,

Warner lifts their side massively. 50% enhance of squad strength right there.

The much improved, stronger Pakistan core this time:

Abbas Afridi, Aamer Jamal, Khushdil Shah, Irfan Niazi, Hassan Ali. This is much better than the out of sync, characterless lot they had last year.

They could have done better than Milne, but he isn’t a bad option either for spearhead seam.

Kane might be done but he is still ok for holding one end for guys like Niazi, Khushdil and Jamal. He can help guide them.


They had nothing besides maybe Pollard going for them last year. Zahid found form so they had a bit of control, otherwise they struggled throughout.

Warner
Kane
Abbas
Jamal
Khushdil
Milne

These are very strong additions
