UAE fast bowler Zahoor Khan has been drafted in the Quetta Gladiators squad in place of West Indian all-rounder Andre Russell.

Russell has also left Abu Dhabi for national duty, he has been replaced by Zahoor in the Gladiators squad.

Quetta have a good record in the UAE, and they'll need to continue that to have a hope of qualifying.

Quetta Gladiators crash out of PSL 6 with a match to spare in a 110-run defeat to Multan.

They got bowled out for 73, their lowest ever total

You could see they were going to struggle as soon as they picked their squad and their replacements.

Re-think needed, overhaul of the coaching staff needed, as well as a change of skipper.

 

[El Generico]

Horrible season for them and obviously losing pretty much all their key overseas players didn’t help.

Sarfaraz Ahmed speaking after his side became the first side to bow out of PSL 6:

"The idea was to win the toss and get the opposition out on a low score; We felt that we didn't have a good start in our batting and due to that we could not make a comeback into the game"

"We were unable to make a good team combination in this tournament; Our foreign players could not be available for the whole of the tournament; As you know, Faf was unfit after the first game here, then Andre Russell came in for a short while, also Tom Banton and Chris Gayle just played 2 games so our combination never got going and due to that our team had problems during the tournament"
