Agreed they have best local talent.Pz has kept all the talent of Pakistan, their batting and spin attack are great. Just need a new captain
Even if Saim isnt fit they will most likely pick Zadran In xi.They'll have the batting to be great. Got enough spin too. Question will be their fast bowlers who repeatedly let them down.
I think they have enough in their fast bowlers to be good.
Very disappointed to see Maaz selected there. Horrible place for him to be drafted personally as he will virtually not even get a shot barring Saim Ayub absence in the PSL. Disappointing for the lad but I suppose it can't hurt to practice daily with Saim & Babar and see how they go about it and maybe he can pickup some things from them.
True. Maaz Sadaqat can have a good career.Pz has kept all the talent of Pakistan, their batting and spin attack are great. Just need a new captain
Agreed Maaz will be warming the bench. Such a shame.They'll have the batting to be great. Got enough spin too. Question will be their fast bowlers who repeatedly let them down.

It was the days of Hasan Ali, Wahab Riaz, Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Asghar and Mujeeb I believe. Been too long.We’re not winning many games with those bowlers. Can’t even remember the last time Zalmi had a decent bowling attack.
They wanted to leaveThe interesting thing is I feel like Saim and Haris will want to leave Peshawar at some point. Saim if he continues to do well in internationals, will be offered PSL captaincy in another team. Like Shaheen and Shadab, grooming for future captaincy. Especially with new PSL teams on the horizon, I bet some team will try to take him that way.
Haris is in a strange position where he was opening but is in competition with both Saim and Babar for the position. With captaincy experience and he struggled last PSL. I wouldn’t be surprised if he moves too at some point. I even think had Karachi not gone for Shan, or even if Shan doesn’t work out, I could see them going for Haris. Haris is also seemingly out of the picture for internationals, so if it isn’t working at PZ will be desperate to start performing someone else to earn an international recall.
Javed doesnt seem interested in branding zalmi now maybe because of fallout with pcbUntil Darren Sammy was playing Zalmi were quite popular unfortunately Babar Azam PR is not reflected in Zalmi Brand.

TKC may or may not perform but this was actually a poor pickThe least he would do was to pick some marketable OS players
Like who?The least he would do was to pick some marketable OS players
Like who?
Who would you pick? Ahmed Shahzad said overseas players have a reservation to play for Pz with Babar in the side. It might actually be a true claim.
Why not answer the question instead of hawai firing? Who are the overseas marketable players you would pick as a PZ fan?Why Not write letter to PCB to expell Babar and Rizwan from PSL
Daryll MitchellWhy not answer the question instead of hawai firing? Who are the overseas marketable players you would pick as a PZ fan?
Ok.Daryll Mitchell
Fin Allen
David Warner
Infact Warner & Saim opening with Babar at 3 , solid trio
Ok.
So why dream when you know Babar isn’t going to bat at 3 as captain? Kisko paagal bana raha hai?
He doesn’t care like you don’t care about Pakistan.Its Javed" s team should have pushed for it
11 Finn Allens can't match a single Babar. Such is Babar's stature.He doesn’t care like you don’t care about Pakistan.
He’s entitled to fanboy it for his team with Babar as his opener and not Finn Allen.
This year foreign player quality was high. The likes of Chris Lynn, Alex hales, Jason Roy, Cooper connoly, Tim southee, Brandon King, ewin Lewis,reeza hendricks, nandre burger goes unsold but they still somehow desperatly wanted kohler cadmore in their squad...Tbh don’t know if cadmore is a bad pick as a batsman. He has at least experience with PZ before and I remember him performing one season with them. That alone slightly improves chances of performing.
The strength of foreign players is quite weak this season. I think it’s due to a clash with IPL?
I don’t think there’s a single foreign player I can see and say for sure he’d definitely improve the side. Even Warner, a few years ago definitely but he might be past it at his age, you just don’t know. I’d go so far and say I’d rather have Saim over any foreign pick.
Though you could argue given how weak the bowling looks, perhaps a bowling pick in platinum would have been better. Batting with or without TDC looks alright. Babar, Saim, Haris and with talat added already feels like a decent batting core.
Mohammed Ali and Muqeem I recognise. But they are hardly psl veterans performing season after season or international regulars. They’ll be relying on a fairly inexperienced (at high level) bowling attack.
How?The strength of foreign players is quite weak this season. I think it’s due to a clash with IPL
Humble advice11 Finn Allens can't match a single Babar. Such is Babar's stature.
Well there aren’t many really strong players, players that were considered strong international players or recently retired. Remember we had in the past pietersen, rashid khan, Tahir, pollard, Guptil, AB de Villiers etc players who could come in and instantly strengthen a side. The current foreign players a lot haven’t even played internationals, or not played a lot in internationals. And their international records don’t look amazing, they don’t feel like the best of the best from internationals. A lot of these guys I wouldn’t even know unless they didn’t play PSL.How?
Those guys got unsold. There’s a reason, they’re out of favour. Hales and Roy have been dumped from England set up in last few years. Pollard was there too, and even Kane got picked up only in supplementary. Teams are taking chance with foreigners with no name, yet in the prime of their playing career hoping they will do better. Which kind of firstly doesn’t create the same excitement of foreign players involved and secondly kind of feels the standard of foreign player is weaker.This year foreign player quality was high.

Sorry I know we are talking about T20s and league cricket here, but can we please put at least an inch of blame on Ali himself for averaging 68 in 4 test matches for Pakistan. It is high time the players take responsibility for how they are rated. It is not just about having a PR team.Muhammad Ali is underrated because he isn't flashy or has a PR team.

Abdullah Shafique may end up scoring 3 hundreds in this year’s PSL, but in my mind I would always rate him based on his factory of low scores for Pakistan.
I take your point but he was also wicketless in his last test match at home against the mighty Bangladesh. That was actually a low scoring game where most of the pacers had a good time.His test performances came against a rampant England on dud tracks I believe so I wouldn't really blame him. He was decent in the last PSL, also does well in domestic competitions, can't ask more from a player.

Good squad, and the fact that Babar is regaining his form is a huge bonus. Not happy with useless hack Haris getting retained, he is a proper liability.
You mean I should back the “right” people like Sharjeel, Imad, Amir, Azam Khan, Haris etc.?Always backing the wrong people man, whether it’s politics, football or cricket…I truly admire your consistency.
Platinum round 1?cadmore is a good pick.

No thanks. Allah Almighty has blessed me with a lot of intelligence to go astray.
Well, there is fantasy and then there is reality,11 Finn Allens can't match a single Babar. Such is Babar's stature.
Sharjeel is a crap player who never performed. His international record paints a sorry picture, and the ban helped him because it protected his image in front of deluded fans like yourself who labor under the delusion that Pakistan lost their version of Warner or De Kock.Sharjeel isn’t out of the team for his performances.
He also averages 15 with the bat in T20Is, and averaged 60+ with the ball in ODIs vs the top 5 sides, inconvenient stats that you conveniently ignored.Imad Wasim averages 42 @ 110 in ODI’s with the bat, better stats than Rizwan.
And yet, Amir will always be remember for being a fixer. His legacy is tainted forever.Mohammad Amir won you two ICC tournaments, how many tournaments will Imam ul Anwar win us?
He also averages 8 in international cricket, and he will probably never play for Pakistan again. He is not 0.1% the cricketer Rizwan is. Cramping Rizwan is a billion times more useful than non-cramping Rizwan.Azam Khan is a fat, unhealthy sob, but he still doesn’t cramp up like Rizwan does every game.
Mohammad Haris averages 7 in ODIs and 14 in T20Is with a lower SR than Babar and Rizwan. Another useless player hyped to the moon by delusional fans when in reality, he is not even close to Babar and Rizwan in any format.Mohammad Haris showed us how crap RizBar were when he outperformed both of them in the WT20.
Imam will be back in the squad soon because Abdullah’s career is tanking, Masood will be gone in a couple of years and Fakhar is nearing the end as well.Imam ul Anwar, gone.
Shaheen Akram, gone.
Babaradman, dropped in the last home series because he can’t play spin.
Rizchrist, first 50 since Ban series at home.
Imam will be back in the squad soon because Abdullah’s career is tanking, Masood will be gone in a couple of years and Fakhar is nearing the end as well.
Shaheen is finally getting back to his best and he is still Pakistan’s premier pacer, so not sure what do you mean by “gone”.
Babar remains Pakistan’s best all format batsman and after 2 difficult years, is finally showing signs of getting his form back.
At 30, he is entering his prime now and will score lots of runs in the coming years and finish off as a bonafide Pakistan legend and one of the greatest, if not the greatest batsman to ever wear the Pakistan jersey.
The reasons those players failed or didn’t reach their potential are either or all of fixing, fitness issues and a lack of work ethic. Except Haris who I’m sure will be back but is still maturing as a player and should have been given a settled position but his record in internationals is poor and he even failed last PSL. Difference between Azam and Rizwan, Rizwan still keeps at a high level and scores runs with cramps. Azam is probably more talented in t20s at least, and has great power, but his fitness results in poor wicketkeeping and he is tied up in internationals not being able to score freely due to his fitness which is why he did badly in internationals. Sharjeel actually would be in the team if he performed in PSL so it is performances. Imad shouldn’t have been dropped and good enough without, but never reached his full potential due to neglect of fitness and work ethic.Sharjeel isn’t out of the team for his performances.
Imad Wasim averages 42 @ 110 in ODI’s with the bat, better stats than Rizwan.
