First of all, what are Usman Salahuddin, Bilal Asif, Mohammad Abbas & Fawad Alam doing there.

Secondly, how is Mirza Tahir Baig a gold category local. He's terrible, as are a few of the other names.

However seeing Arshad Iqbal their is a positive. Hopefully, he's fit to play.

They're allowed to register for the draft. It doesn't mean anyone will pick them. There's plenty of better options so you can only pray that no one is daft enough to go for these guys or even worse Ahmed Shahzad.

But @TeymurBlake has a point. The players he mentioned have zero to none T20 pedigree. Usman Salahuddin lol, how is this guy being put into a category which guarantees more money than Silver and Bronze, even though the guy is not a T20 player

Faheem Ashraf at Gold is a ludicrous pick. Absolute steal. Guy has been on form for a year with bat and ball in the format
 
Why Mathew Beretzkee didn’t register for PSL????

He’s a gun!
 
PSL has announced the list of foreign players in the silver category.

Which of these players you think would get picked by the teams?

Mitchell Owen is another name that seems to be getting some buzz around him.

A lower-middle order batter who is a aggressive hitter, about 6’5 & has moved to open this season in BBL & has been solid.
 
Emerging players aiming for a spot in this year's Draft

I'd expect Hasan Nawaz & Saad Masood to be the hot picks in that category. Really hoping to see Karachi land one of them. Please, that team is in desperate need of good talent.

Maaz Sadaqat is hot property too.

I have a weird feeling someone will wild card him in the gold or silver category
 
sediqullah atal from afg is one to look out for,has been scoring runs for fun recently

Speculated (likely confirmed) picks:

Abbas Afridi to Karachi Kings (platinum home player)

Faheem Ashraf to Quetta Gladiators (platinum home most likely)

Shoaib Malik to Quetta Gladiators (Diamond home most likely)
 
Quetta making a mistake here, should opt for Khushdil and not Shoaib Malik.
 
PSL need to release the platinum list today so fans and journalists can predict their selections!
 
Quetta bowling so far

Amir
Wasim Jr
Faheem Ashraf (speculated)
Abrar
Akiel Hossein
Usman Tariq

They need another seamer I recon, should go for Daisy or Akif.
It would be criminal if one these three spinners miss a game. They ideally should be in different teams. All three are good enough as spearhead spinners

Not for Babar Azam. He is the captain of PZ and he has no clue about who is a spinner and how to utilise them.
 
What has Babar got to do with this? These spinners are in Quetta. Not Peshawar
You said all of them can be frontline spinners for different teams. I responded to this by saying not for PZ. Their captain is incompetent.
 
Because nobody had ever heard of him. Stats are very mediocre for T20s though
97 off 50 at the age of 18

His strike rate is higher than Babar, Rizwan and Shan. 2 platinum players and 3 captains of 3 franchises. If his stats are very mediocre, what about those 3???

His average is much inferior to Babar and Rizwan. Tells you he's quite inconsistent

He is a better T20 player than both put together. Rizwan and Babar fans don’t understand T20 standards, or the difference between the requirement in approach to T20 in comparison to other formats.

Also shamyl Hussain and Ubaid Shah.

I am surprised that Chris Lynn, Moises Henriques & Jason Behrendorff are in the Platinum category at there ages.

I don't believe they will be picked if I'm honest.
 
Who wants Bairstow?

Who wants Duckett?

Who wants Bethel?
Duckett will be a solid no. 3 no. 4 in Pakistan conditions. He will destroy the spinners. Even against Sajid and Noman he showed the most promise and intent.
 
Lahore Qalandars have to bring in a keeper, Sam Billings isn't a bad option.
If Lahore can afford to get an overseas opener or no. 3 that can also WK. They should honestly go for either Kusal Mendis or Kusal Perera. Killer WK batters
 
I think the ‘leftie’ who Ali Tareen so desperately wants is Cooper Connolly

Imagine it’s Usman Khwaja though? You can expect anything from this buffoon!
 
The reason why there are no red ball pacers for Test cricket . What's the next talent coming from PSL.

SSA Naseem Rauf all have been in circuit for some time, what has PSL produced in last two years Abbas Afridi that's it

He needs a leftie opener or no. 3 who can play spin well.

It will be Khwaja. Khawaja is a big draw from a marketing perspective.
