1 Kamran Akmal+
2 Babar Azam
3 Haider Ali
4 Alex Hales
5 Shoaib Malik
6 Ben Dunk
7 Shadab Khan
8 Sohail Tanvir
9 Imran Tahir
10 Shaheen Afridi
11 Mohammad Amir

Rilee, Imad, Khushdil, Samit and Munro also decent shouts.
 
In line with rule of 04 overseas players.

Babar
Rhonchi
Hales
Haider
Shadab
Dunk
Khushdil
Tahir/Samit
Tanvir
Hasnain
Afridi

Babar can be the Captain.
 
Actual team of the tournament (unlimited overseas):
1 Chris Lynn
2 Babar Azam (C)
3 Haider Ali (E)
4 Alex Hales
5 Ben Dunk (WK)
6 Rilee Rossouw
7 Samit Patel
8 Imran Tahir
9 Sohail Tanvir
10 Shaheen Shah Afridi
11 Mohammad Amir

I have prioritized economy rate for bowlers more than ability to take wickets (hence Hasnain is dropped) and SR and consistency to hit 30 runs for batsmen (hence Kamran Akmal and Sharjeel are dropped as they both average in 20s even despite Kamran’s 100).

Following the rule of 4 overseas players:
1 Chris Lynn
2 Babar Azam (C)
3 Haider Ali (E)

5 Ben Dunk (WK)
6 Khushdil Shah

Batsman of the tournament: Ben Dunk (3rd highest run scorer with the highest SR in the top 20 run scorers. Highest average in the top 10).

Bowler of the tournament: Shaheen Shah Afridi (2nd highest wicket taker with a lower average than Hasnain and a far better economy standing at 7.02). Second best stats of the tournament. Best stats are Sohail Tanvir but he gets runners up as none of his wickets were as memorable as some of Shaheen’s beautiful in-swinging yorkers to uproot the stumps.

Ronchi outperformed Kamran with both the bat and the glove

Sohail Tanvir, in less matches, had more wickets and a better economy rate than Amir.
Husnain was arguably the best bowler of the tournament.
Unjustifiable to select Amir over either of them
 
Not many people picking Hasnain even though he was the leading wicket-taker.
 
Out of the top 6 wicket-takers, Amir has the worst average and only third best economy rate. And those are largely dependent on a single good game where he took 4-wickets

Not sure why so many people think Amir should be in the team of the tournament. He performed below expectations in this PSL

How Rossouw pass the Criterion described for Akmal and Sharjeel ?

7. Shadab Khan

9. Zafar Gohar/Tanvir depending on pitch
10. Amir
11. Shaheen

I would also add Sharjeel here and rotate with one of the openers.
 
1. Haider Ali (PZ, Emerging)
2. Babar Azam (KK)
3. Chris Lynn (LQ, Foreign)
4. Rilee Roussouw (MS, Foreign)
5. Shoaib Malik (PZ)
6. Ben Dunk+ (LQ, Foreign)
7. Imad Wasim* (KK)
8. Chris Jordan (KK, Foreign)
9. Wahab Riaz (PZ)
10. Mohammad Amir (KK)
11. Shaheen Shah Afridi (LQ)
 
1. Ronchi (+)
2. Babar (C)
3. Chris Lynn
4. Hales
5. Rilee Roussouw
6. Haider Ali
7. Khushdil Shah
8. Shadab
9. Shaheen
10. Naseem
11. Hasnain
 
PSL Team of the Tournament:

1. Babar Azam
2. Luke Ronchi
3. Alex Hales
4. Shadab Khan
5. Dawid Malan
6. Riley Rossouw
7. Zafar Gohar
8. Sohail Tanvir
9. Mohammad Amir
10. Shaheen Afridi
11. Mohammad Hasnain

12. Khushdil Shah
13. Haider Ali
14. Imran Tahir
15. Naseem Shah

Think this is a dynamite team.
1. If you want depth, Khushdil could be included at no. 4, Shadab drops down to 7, and drop a seamer.
2. If Gohar doesn’t deliver, you can bring in Tahir with an emerging Pak batsman.

Most economical bowling attack, and most versatile, with six front line bowlers. Can definitely afford to have a wicket taker like Hasnain in the side. Rossouw at 6 is plenty of batting depth. Ronchi over Akmal any day. Dunk’s keeping not up to the mark.

Hasnain and Wahab had high economies in comparison so they missed out.

God this is hard to make for me:

1. Babar Azam
2. Chris Lynn (O)
3. Haider Ali (E)
4. Alex Hales (O)
5. Rilee Roussow (O)
6. Ben Dunk (O) (WK)
7. Khushdil Shah
8. Shadab Khan
9. Wahab Riaz
10. Mohammad Hasnain
11. Shaheen Shah Afridi

This is the best combo I could make honestly. Wanted to pick Imran Tahir, but looking at the overseas batsman performance its hard to argue any one of these should be out.
