Determining the strongest squad for PSL 11 (2026) involves analyzing team compositions and player strengths. Quetta Gladiators are considered strong with a balanced mix of batsmen, all-rounders, and bowlers. Islamabad United, a three-time champion, also has a formidable lineup with players like Shadab Khan and Naseem Shah. Lahore Qalandars, led by Shaheen Shah Afridi, is another contender, being the defending champion. Ultimately, the strength of a squad can depend on how well the players perform during the tournament.

Quetta gladiators or Islamabad united
 
I think hydrebad, they have saim,maaz,irfan niazi,kusal perera, shayan jahangir, hassan khan and if you want you can add usman khan too. Without usman khan theyve formidable top 6. Now bowling wise, they've akif javed, muhammad ali both alright include with them riley meredith. Hassan khan bowls spin, they need another spinner which maybe from names i dont know.
 
They are all same to me. No one really dominated. Everyone is either a spinner short, no attacking pace bowler, or lack of all rounders.
 
LQ: Good Fast bowling attack, issue with spin attack as they needed an attacker spinner . Batting wise really good but no lower order hitter

PZ: Made the same mistake as they have done for the last 4 seasons. They dont have a singel attacking pacer, all the pacers they carry are 3rd bowling options or not developed. Ali Raza cant be ur main bowler, nor can Amir Jamal or Khurram. They also added Kashid Ali who is also a 3rd option bowler. No opening bowler basically. Probably the best lower order batting with Iftikhar, Samad, Aamir Jamal and even Bracewell. Had they bought good pacers, they would had been the best squad. SHould had gone for DDahni and Hasnain

IU: Spinner sucks. Bowling option is good with Joseph, Hasnain, Sameen Gul, Wasim Jr and Faheem. Faheem was a great pick. No local batting talent. Due to their lack of quality spinners, cant rate them high.

KK: If Ihsanullah clicks, him and abbas can be deadly, along with Shahid Aziz and have heard good tuff on Khuzaima. Batting wise they look craap. They could have gone for batters and should have added Imad Wasim as they have no local spinners. Should had taken Arif Yaqoob, he knows karachi wickets better than anyone else. Batting wise should had avoided Saad Baig and when for local u19 talents.

QG: Best spinner is with them, great batting like up with Hassan, Usman, Rossow, Arafat, and than Faisal is there with ABrar as spinners. THey even have Nafay, bismmillah is a decent keeper. Only issue is pace bowling. The have tom Curran, but a pacer could had been added

SS: Their pace attack is good with Salman and Daniyal. Upper order is strong with Sahibzada, Smith and having Saad Masood aswell. Maybe in the middle and lower roder they will face issues as they alck batting their, and Nawaz is a very good spin option

HHK: Irfan, Maaz and Hassan are very good lower order batters. Bowling attack is good with Akif and Hunain Shah and Asif Mehmood (Hasand Alis cousin). Spinner not there with maaz havin to bowl. Focussed too much on USA imporats that weakened their bowling. Their upper order with Saim and Usman are good. Perera is also a good pick so was Shayan.


Pindi: Asif Afridi and Risahd makes them a good spin attack. Pace bowling with Naseem aint that good, but Ammad Butt is a good otion. Batting wise they didnt get too many hitters. KG, Rizwan bat same, Billings and Uasir Khan can attack.

Final ranking:

QG
HHK
IU


Pindi



I am having difficulty in rating:
KK
LQ
SS
PZ
 
I know for a fact that it is not Hyderabad. Rest have a chance. Even Pindi.

On paper though. Islamabad, Lahore and Quetta look strong.
