[PICTURES] PSL 2020 Draft - Discussion Thread

[TeymurBlake]

Colin Ingram picked by Islamabad United

 

[saeed5646]

Colin ingram in platinum is bad move .i think he picked due to availability for whole season

 

[minamino]

I thought Ingram wasn't available for this year.

 

[Titan24]

Ingram deserved a contract after his heroics last season.

 

[m.awais]

Three top English players are picked. An international tour of England Cricket Team might be around the corner.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Multan Sultans pick Rilee Roussow. Really good move.

 

[minamino]

Rilee Russouw in platinum is a very average pick.

 

[saeed5646]

Roy with watson will be deadly opening combination

 

[Hawkeye]

Top pick by ISLU, Steyn.

I don't see any team challenging ISLU this time. Tactics will be rock solid and the team itself too.

Misbah has a habit of becoming PSL champions.

Multan Sultans pick Rilee Roussow. Really good move.

quite boring to watch tho..

[fluke]

Roy with watson will be deadly opening combination

What about roy + Watson + Shahzad + UA

 

[saeed5646]

Who was other platinum overseas star not picked by any franchise

& international disaster

 

[minamino]

Who was other platinum overseas star not picked by any franchise

Lamichhane.

 

[Titan24]

Ramiz Raja marking the picks like a teacher

 

[shah_1]

Who was other platinum overseas star not picked by any franchise

Rashid Khan, Nabi and Mujeeb ur Rehman

 

[TeymurBlake]

quite boring to watch tho..
is miller there?

Nope. If Miller was available then he probably be first pick.

 

[saeed5646]

What about roy + Watson + Shahzad + UA

Actually both umar and ahmed shehzad are very good home track bulley so not bad batting lineup

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

Rashid Khan, Nabi and Mujeeb ur Rehman

why

 

[minamino]

Rashid Khan should have been picked at the very least.

 

[saeed5646]

Rashid Khan, Nabi and Mujeeb ur Rehman

So the rumour are true Afghanistan board have denied noc to these players

 

[minamino]

why

I think they are available for half season only but still, they should be picked

 

[Titan24]

Rashid Khan should have been picked at the very least.

Might come in as diamonds

 

[saeed5646]

Pathetic decision by ACB if they denied Afghanistan players noc

 

[shah_1]

It is shocking to see no one go for Imran Tahir

He was a star in IPL

 

[minamino]

Might come in as diamonds

Rashid is a bonafide T20 star. He should be in platinum only. Are you telling me Rossouw and Ingram are better than Rashid?

 

[Bleedgreen4ever]

Top pick by ISLU, Steyn.

I don't see any team challenging ISLU this time. Tactics will be rock solid and the team itself too.

Misbah has a habit of becoming PSL champions.

Misbah will be the reason why they won't make it this time

 

[TeymurBlake]

Tom Banton to Peshawar Zalmi.

 

[minamino]

Banton goes to Zalmi.

 

[saeed5646]

Rashid is a bonafide T20 star. He should be in platinum only. Are you telling me Rossouw and Ingram are better than Rashid?

Afghan players were reportedly stopped by there board hence no one is picked

 

[Titan24]

Rashid is a bonafide T20 star. He should be in platinum only. Are you telling me Rossouw and Ingram are better than Rashid?

Team combinations, availability and a lot of things come into play.

 

[m.shah]

I think they are available for half season only but still, they should be picked

Noc not given by ACB

 

[saeed5646]

Would have love to see banton with babar azam they had very good time at somerset

 

[Titan24]

Afghan players were reportedly stopped by there board hence no one is picked

Petty on ACB’s part if thats the case.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

cant pcb sort out there issue with afgans atleast?
incompetent board

 

[TeymurBlake]

Colin Munro to Islamabad United.

 

[minamino]

Munro could have been picked in platinum round.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Chris Jordan to Karachi Kings.

 

[saeed5646]

cant pcb sort out there issue with afgans atleast?
incompetent board

It is not in Afghan cricket board hand . Don't want to go in detail so leave it there..

 

[TeymurBlake]

Quetta Gladiators pick Ben Cutting.

 

[Titan24]

Cutting is a pretty good pick, was really surprised when he wasnt picked last year.

 

[minamino]

Lahore Qalandars wasted a pick on Wiese

 

[minamino]

No Malik yet is a shocker

 

[TeymurBlake]

Multan Sultans picked Zeeshan Ashraf. Wild Card pick.

 

[minamino]

LMAO Wild card pick is Zeeshan Ashraf to MS

 

[saeed5646]

Best thing about entire psl moving to pakistan is all the franchises are keen to picked power hitter which was not the case for uae pitches due to dull low bounce and slow nature of those pitches .

The likes of nawaz ,shadab ,fahim and other psl top performers will have to work cut out because pitches will be very flat and won't be 150ish pitches

 

[Titan24]

Zeeshan Ashraf in daimond. What a big day for him

 

[saeed5646]

Jackpot by multan .Zeeshan is excellent pick

 

[ARK Rafay]

Wait out of all players in the draft the first wild card is Zeeshan Ashraf! Was it like all teams were gonna go for him in the gold/silver Round? And is he a worth it player?

 

[MenInG]

Pakistan Super League

Well I won’t lie, I would love to play for Multan Sultans in the Pakistan Super League. After all they are my local team, but I’d be more than happy to play for any team if given the chance.


===

Welcome to Multan Sultans Zeeshan!

 

[TeymurBlake]

Multan Sultans have now picked Ravi Bopara.

 

[saeed5646]

Lol andy flower picking his english friends

 

[Titan24]

True.

 

[Green Patriot]

Why have Zalmi picked Banton?
They have a set keeper in Kamran Akmal.
I was so badly wishing for Banton to move to KK.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Shoaib Malik finally picked by Peshawar Zalmi.

 

[ARK Rafay]

Why have Zalmi picked Banton?
They have a set keeper in Kamran Akmal.
I was so badly wishing for Banton to move to KK.

He is a hard hitting opener. Kamran and Banton in form would make sure Zalmi are off to a big total

 

[Titan24]

Why have Zalmi picked Banton?
They have a set keeper in Kamran Akmal.

KK is set at top with Hales and Babar. PZ needed firepower at the top.

[saeed5646]

Lol zalmi is boring team .Sticking to same player again and again

 

[saeed5646]

Zafar gohar should be picked by multan

 

[minamino]

Aqib Javed looks clueless in Qalandars.

 

[Titan24]

Unless MS is making Shan Masood captain, Sharjeel Khan can be a good pick for them to open with Zeeshan Ashraf.

 

[fluke]

Zeeshan Malik is in which category ?

 

[TeymurBlake]

LQ pick Samit Patel.

 

[minamino]

Samit Patel is a bad pick

 

[minamino]

Zeeshan Malik is in which category ?

He was in Silver but was promoted to Diamond.

 

[Titan24]

Zeeshan Malik is in which category ?

Silver I think

 

[saeed5646]

Lol samit

 

[Titan24]

He was in Silver but was promoted to Diamond.

No that was Zeshan Ashraf left hand opening batsman

 

[ARK Rafay]

Aqib Javed looks clueless in Qalandars.

From the very beginning he is. 4 seasons gone. 1 more will go as well like that so no harm

 

[TeymurBlake]

Rumman Raees to Islamabad United.

 

[saeed5646]

Good to see babar azam have sorted out his Twitter spat with zainab abbas

 

[Titan24]

Good to see Rauman back, hopefully he is fitter now.

 

[TeymurBlake]

From the very beginning he is. 4 seasons gone. 1 more will go as well like that so no harm

LOL. He's enjoying the stage just taking all in. Looks so comfortable, looks well out of his depth.

 

[Green Patriot]

He is a hard hitting opener. Kamran and Banton in form would make sure Zalmi are off to a big total

Banton is phenomenal.He would be amazing.But i wanted to see him open with Babar.

KK is set at top with Hales and Babar. PZ needed firepower at the top.

Yeah but they do need a wicketkeeper. And Banton would have been amazing for them because wicketkeeping coupled with amazing firepower and the bonus of a settled partnership experience with Babar.

 

[saeed5646]

Sharjeel should be picked

 

[TeymurBlake]

Multan Sultans have picked Sohail Tanvir. Wasting a pick.

 

[minamino]

Sohail Tanvir relegated to Gold lmao

 

[saeed5646]

Lol sohail tanvir was in platinum category
