It's really hilarious to me. Now they have also used on spot to retain Zahid Mehmood. I mean cmonExactly
The tripe they picked last season coming back to haunt them. They could have had a go at getting Saim if they had something worthy to offer.
Quetta looks very solid. Bowling attack already sorted.PZ & QG on paper looks strong
So what do you do? Be a coward and not even pick them?What if the OS signed in Platinum leave the PSL for some crazy offer from IPL on crash basis , would not that leave the franchise in jeopardy .
That's why they have supplementary picksWhat if the OS signed in Platinum leave the PSL for some crazy offer from IPL on crash basis , would not that leave the franchise in jeopardy .
Ok carry on with the Dreamy Biryani.So what do you do? Be a coward and not even pick them?
Your the one dreaming about this and that, I’m talking reality. So you dont pick a player in the platinum because you are afraid he might run away to IPL?Ok carry on with the Dreamy Biryani.
How can franchises hold players against their wills? That's preposterous. What kind of dressing room environment you want to create?Source “has said that Peshawar Zalmi has threatened many players regarding retaining them and Fakhta has said that Muhammad Haris and Saim Ayub wanted to leave Peshawar Zalmi but due to some reasons both players were forcibly retained... PSL management is asking all the players whether they were talked to, were they retained of their own free will or were they forced to do so, players playing for the Test team will be asked for this after reaching the hotel”
@mominsaigol @emranabbas
Maybe he wants a revolt against Babar In PZ.How can franchises hold players against their wills? That's preposterous. What kind of dressing room environment you want to create?
They had this issue in QGHow can franchises hold players against their wills? That's preposterous. What kind of dressing room environment you want to create?
16 off 26 categoryAny update in whether Sharjeel Khan & Asif Ali are part of any PSL team, surely these players are worth their value in gold.
Is there any special category for such stars.
Platinum, Diamond, Gold & Silver how about a Copper category or Arsenic Category fits well on Imad Wasim and Iftikhar Ahmed
Hehe PSL should also have a Best Theme Song Award.
Literally the scenario. The guys retained are imprisoned
This was decided a few days agoWhat drama is this with PCB? Nothing ever goes according to plan. Now reports are coming that the draft will happen in Lahore. I'm really fed up with PCB.
That's what I'm saying PCB never does anything according to plan there's always a U-turn.This was decided a few days ago
Not logistically possible to do the draft in Quetta/Gwadar
Squid game kahin warr he na jye

Babar as front manSquid game kahin warr he na jye

Bro Saud isn’t too bad. I understand your vision of how you view rubbish and agree with it, but Saud is better than this lot when he plays free flow. He’s not afraid to go big in the powerplay.I refuse to believe a league with the following players can be rated:
Abdullah Shafique
Rizwan
Shadab Khan
Saud Shakeel
Shan Masood
How useless are these as T20 players?
Yet playing league?
They can try to convince them but they can't force them against their will and announce retentionsThey had this issue in QG
Naseem Shah wanted to leave the season before he left, but they convinced him somehow for 1 season.
Major must be the happiest man alive because he was arguing with me. How players cannot drink bottled water there.What drama is this with PCB? Nothing ever goes according to plan. Now reports are coming that the draft will happen in Lahore. I'm really fed up with PCB.
I was surprised when PCB announced the draft was going to take place in Gwadar.It is obvious PCB management and planning is very poor.Why didn’t anyone look into logistics and security issues before choosing Gwadar?.This was decided a few days ago

Why can’t players drink bottled water in Gwadar?Major must be the happiest man alive because he was arguing with me. How players cannot drink bottled water there.
I read through the rules just now,They can try to convince them but they can't force them against their will and announce retentions
I like Saud for Tests he seems like a top bloke who can do well there.Bro Saud isn’t too bad. I understand your vision of how you view rubbish and agree with it, but Saud is better than this lot when he plays free flow. He’s not afraid to go big in the powerplay.
Listen to his latest 2 and a half hour podcast he did with 3 fanboy journalistsI hope Ali Tareen loses every game. What an unprofessional buffoon!
Some people were saying he would give up playing in the PSL to commentate in the IPL. What happened to that lol?Hello Mr Warner...Good addition
Australia's David Warner has signed up for the HBL PSL Draft
View attachment 149151
You mean Mark Chapman rightListened to the entire, abysmal podcast of Ali Tareen owner of Multan Sultans. Will make many pointers from that podcast later on.
One thing that is worth noting is that he mentioned Glenn Chapman is only available for the second half of the tournament as he is expecting a baby.
Paison ko chakr ha babo Bhai...paison kaSome people were saying he would give up playing in the PSL to commentate in the IPL. What happened to that lol?
For once I don't want any no-name international guys that have done nothing. PSL has done more to make stars out of obscure foreign talent than their own local talent. Let's just get the best possible stars we can get for this season.Bro Jangoo is crap
He has a T20 sr of 70. Guy is living off his fame from that ODI debut hundred.
Sorry yes. Mark Chapman is only available for halfYou mean Mark Chapman right
I will chec it it out but dont think I can sit through him talking for 2.5 hours. The guy is a flipping nobody in cricket terms and some of the comments he is making about overseas pros are a complete joke.Listen to his latest 2 and a half hour podcast he did with 3 fanboy journalists
why they changed the venue at the last pakistan? Any reasonThe Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has today confirmed that the HBL PSL Player Draft has been rescheduled and will now take place on 13 January at Huzoori Bagh, Lahore fort in Lahore
The event has been moved from the earlier announced venue, Gwadar, due to unforeseen logistical challenges. The HBL PSL 2025 Trophy Tour scheduled in March will now feature Gwadar as a key location on its route across Pakistan.
Given below are further details:
Venue: Huzoori Bagh, Lahore Fort
Date: Monday, 13 January 2025
Event Broadcast start time: 1230pm PKT
The landmark 10th edition of the HBL PSL is slotted to take place between 8 April and 19 May later this year. The six franchises will assemble their star-studded squads on Monday, 13 January during the Player Draft ceremony at one of Lahore’s most iconic heritage sites.
He's a good player who has delivered in these conditions but I'm not sure if he is worth it, if he is only available for half the season. Personally speaking I am not a fan of limited availability of players, it can completely destroy your momentum as a team, especially if that player is playing well.Sorry yes. Mark Chapman is only available for half
I would still pick him if I were Multan. They usually breeze through their home games in the first half. They need a player of his quality in the second half

Mohsin Naqvi and PCB...enough saidwhy they changed the venue at the last pakistan? Any reason
He probably meant Glenn Chapman is expected that's why his Dad won't be coming to play the full season.You mean Mark Chapman right
No. PCB/ pakistan may fool others but not devadwal . Pakistan media is not reporting so it's doesn't means we are not aware of what is happening. Nvm good luckMohsin Naqvi and PCB...enough said

Trust me, once this guy goes off, you will probably end up sitting through and listening to all of it.I will chec it it out but dont think I can sit through him talking for 2.5 hours. The guy is a flipping nobody in cricket terms and some of the comments he is making about overseas pros are a complete joke.
Was this your first time listening to someone from Pakistani Elite?Trust me, once this guy goes off, you will probably end up sitting through and listening to all of it.
One of the most bizarre, ignorant and one sided rants I have ever come across in the franchise cricket business…and he ties it in a lot with the PCB.
The first time I paid attention because this guy clearly is asking for it.Was this your first time listening to someone from Pakistani Elite?
Ali Tareen directly calling PSL administration staff ‘snakes’ in this podcast. I don’t understand what this guy is trying to portray here? He is only in his position due to the wealth and privilege of his family, and the injection of cash that isn’t earned by himself. He isn’t a revolutionary who’s earned his right by working through the system itself. Absolutely disgusting comments against PCB officials just because he is paying them to run his Papa’s dream
If you watch the podcast, Tareen specifically mentions that one of his main targets is to pick a ‘left handed top order batsman’.
He had ruled out Warner for his bizarre reasoning…and was suggested maybe Kyle Mayers? To this he responded by saying (I am paraphrasing):
“Mayers is someone I really wanted, but we saw his stats against left arm spin and they were not encouraging. Therefore, he isn’t someone who we can bank on as soon as Akiel Hossein or Imad come on to bowl in the powerplay”.
So this bloke knows the value of Imad Wasim in T20 cricket, as his selection policy revolves around his threat in the powerplay….yet he comes up with these hypocritical comments?
No I think it’s a confused and hypocritical assessment as is the case for most people who are followers of this mindset of cricket.Seems like an honest assessment by Tareen.
No I think it’s a confused and hypocritical assessment as is the case for most people who are followers of this mindset of cricket.
It’s like saying, “I absolutely despise this guy, he is trash, he will cost you the tournament, nothing good will come out from him…
Yet I desperately need a player to counter him! I don’t want this player who is brilliant in general because I can’t depend on him to counter his threat”
That’s not honest? If he is honest, what are his honest views on the output of Malan and Hendricks in comparison to Rizwan’s with the bat??
What number was Imad batting for Pakistan? Everyone knows that Imad’s value in T20 is his powerplay and middle over’s bowling. If Pakistan wanted to pick him to bat…..he wouldn’t be bowling at all loooolNot confusing at all when you consider the fact that batting and bowling are two separate facets of the game. Was Imad selected for his PP bowling or his batting heroics in the PSL final

As I said mate, the fans of this kind of cricket are confused in this thought process. Ali Tareen is a reflection of this confusion.
Your talking nonsense. Imad’s batting is a bonus, everyone who supports him here talks about his ability to bowl economically in the powerplay overs. That’s why he is picked for franchise/league cricket all around the world. No one hypes his batting, even though he has proven in the previous season how easy it is to pad your stats with not out performances and at a better strike rate than the frauds who bat in the powerplay.He was sent at 5. That's a batters position. Just admit it mate, you're only arguing because it's the owner of the Sultans, the PSL team you dislike due to Rizwan connection.

I am arguing with a guy who isn’t making any sense, I don’t care if he’s the owner of MS, whose captain is Rizwan. I can turn the argument around on you and say that you are only defending his b.s because he is the owner of MS, the franchise whose captain is a player you worship!
He bats like Babar and Rizwan outside the powerplay, actually he has more innovative strokes.International cricket is grades above franchise and league cricket. Imad's bowling in the PP adds tremendous value at that level but that's about it. Fact is he wasn't needed in the PP vs India. It made sense as it was raining so the pacers were preferred. And they did a great job getting both Rohit and Kohli. We didn't lose that game due to bowling.
Imad's batting is a bonus? That's a new one. Are you classifying him as a tailender?

You seem to be completely lost if you are claiming Imad was begged to return to Pakistan for his battinf and not his bowling primarily. I can understand though, you did believe Babar can hit 6x4 in the super over if needed.
TBF many at the time were lauding Imad for his power hitting during the tail end of the PSL ( including me). i think it is personally reasonable to say he was brought into the team as much for his hitting than his bowling.Your talking nonsense.

What Ls have I faced with Rizwan in the captaincy? Pakistan have lost 5 out of 5 games he has played and captained in T20sYou can't argue on merit anymore since you've faced alot of L's with Rizwan in the captaincy seat
What Ls have I faced with Rizwan in the captaincy? Pakistan have lost 5 out of 5 games he has played and captained in T20s
Pakistan in general have been losing 80% of the matches he and Babar play in. I absolutely love it when he plays T20 in whatever capacity and then I have a field day here.
Whether he gets out for a low score, or he bats through and scores a 70 off 55 balls….I am always proven right about him. Thats a fact.
He can bat, so what are you trying to pin on me? Amir Yamin can bat too, it doesn’t change the fact that his main strength as a T20 bowler is his ability to bowl swing with control in the powerplay.@Rana your comment in the PSL 9 final thread. You considered Imad a proper batter.
What's with the bonus runs narrative now
