*Karachi Kings Bolster Squad with Star Power at Historic First-Ever HBL PSL Player Auction*

LAHORE, 11 February 2026:

Following the conclusion of the first-ever HBL PSL Player Auction, Karachi Kings have emerged with a formidable 18-player roster designed for a title charge in the upcoming HBL PSL 11.

In one of the most anticipated moves of the evening, legendary Australian left-hander David Warner is set to rejoin the Karachi Kings. After being released into the auction pool, the Kings secured their former skipper with a winning bid of PKR 7.9 crore.

Joining Warner in the batting order is the explosive Azam Khan, who makes his move to the Kings for the first time following a 3.25 crore bid. The franchise further strengthened its local core by securing Pakistan T20I captain Salman Ali Agha for 5.85 crores, adding significant leadership and middle-order stability to the lineup.

The Kings’ strategy at the auction table also focused heavily on world-class spin, pace, and batting firepower. The elite Australian leg-spinner is set to make his HBL PSL debut after being snapped up for 4.5 crores. The Caribbean powerhouse was secured for 2 crores to add top-order fireworks.

The franchise brought in seasoned pacer Mir Hamza (2.4 crore) and speedster Ihsanullah (1.05 crores) to complement their retained bowling attack.

I couldn't believe they got Zampa so cheap. Fantastic pick.

The rest... meh. A team that is just so meh & boring. Blew so much budget getting dudes like Warner/Moeen/Agha which is just so unexciting. Should be decent, maybe good enough to make playoffs but they don't look like true contenders.

 

[ads101]

Hopefully Agha captains. Bit disappointed he wasn’t captaining one of the new teams. But given Warner is there that isn’t a given.

Also given how terrible this franchise has been over history not sure I want another Pakistani captain managing it. I’d rather Agha manage another team but if it has to be Karachi than so be it. But I guess they have been better in recent past and less feuding.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Moeen is well past his due date. Made good selections last year. Apart from Warner and Zampa, this year is meh.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Best thing they did was bring in Zampa... He will carry their whole bowling lineup here.. Other than that, I cannot see that much fire in their bowing.

 

[shamaan]

They will proberly be in the bottom 2.

Karachi is my city but not supporting them this year as they have invested in Azam Khan.
