[zoeyfactor]

Not a great list of Platinum players but only 12 needed so it's obvious which ones will those be.

 

[BouncerGuy]

The PSL draft is scheduled for today. How many of you are excited and waiting for it?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Not a great list of Platinum players but only 12 needed so it's obvious which ones will those be.

Even less. 10 needed because 2 were already retained. 1 will be Fakhar. So the spot is just for 9 overseas players

 

[BouncerGuy]

Emerging category has some exciting names like Shamyl Hussain, Mohammad Zeeshan and others.

 

[Barragan]

This year there aren't any big names.

Boring draft!

 

[Rana]

The draft should be on the PCB YouTube channel?

 

[FearlessRoar]

Fazalhaq Farooqi is in the platinum category. It's shocking.

 

[PakEngFan]

Fazalhaq Farooqi is in the platinum category. It's shocking.

Newly all the players in platinum are not worth it. It's a joke.

 

[Rana]

Fazalhaq Farooqi is in the platinum category. It's shocking.

Poor category allocations. How is Jamie Overton a platinum pick?

 

[Rana]

Noor Ahmed platinum lol

Guy isn’t a guaranteed starter for Afghanistan

 

[shamaan]

When will it start?

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Emerging category has some exciting names like Shamyl Hussain, Mohammad Zeeshan and others.

is that tall Pakistani fast bowler from U-19 available in emerging?

 

[Rana]

is that tall Pakistani fast bowler from U-19 available in emerging?

I think they all are

I saw Shamyl’s name in the emerging list

 

[FearlessRoar]

Joke of Platinum Category. I'm shocked
These players aren't even able to secure Silver Category. What a joke.

 

[MenInG]

Ceremony has started

 

[RidiculousMan]

Speech after speech!

 

[MenInG]

Speech after speech!

Their 10 mins of fame - let them have it

 

[Firebat]

Picks are finally starting!

 

[Firebat]

First pick of the draft is David Willey to Multan

 

[Rana]

Out of all the picks you could have made

You went for Willey

Who’s making these dumb decisions?

 

[Rana]

David Malan
Ben Duckett
Kyle Mayers

And they go for Willey??

 

[Firebat]

Karachi's first Platinum pick is Kieron Pollard

 

[Rana]

Over the Hill Pollard goes to KK

Another dumb pick

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Keiron Pollard is old as hell

 

[Firebat]

David Malan
Ben Duckett
Kyle Mayers

And they go for Willey??

They wanted to fill a powerplay bowling hole they say

 

[Rana]

Picking Pollard and Willey as the first 2 picks is a sad indictment of the standard of this competition

 

[Firebat]

Quetta take Sherfane Rutherford as their first pick

 

[Rana]

They wanted to fill a powerplay bowling hole they say

Willey isn’t a Pakistan tracks bowler

At least pick a horse for the course

 

[Rana]

Rutherford better than the other 2 picks at least

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Dawid Malan, Fakhar Zaman, Van der Dussan are not picked yet brain fade

 

[Galla]

worst platnium roster for psl ever.KP in 2023 as the 2nd overall pick?Are you kidding me?Plus willey the first overall pick.

 

[Firebat]

Peshawar pick Noor Ahmad as their first Platinum pick

 

[Rana]

noor Ahmed left arm wides machine

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

bhai pick krne ka process rakha hi kyun hai? saray farigh players khud hi dedia karo bhai

 

[Firebat]

Quetta's 2nd and final Platinum pick - Mohammad Amir

 

[Rana]

Where is Javed Afridi? Sulking in his Dubai mansion because Peshawar stadium not being used?

 

[Rana]

Big Boy Pick!

Amir in the platinum. Massive respect for QG

 

[Galla]

QG looking the best so far

 

[Rana]

QG already look sorted for their XI

 

[Firebat]

Lahore begin the draft by bringing Fakhar Zaman back!

 

[Rana]

They could have used the RTM card at any time…why not pick a player now and get Fakhar back later?

 

[Galla]

QG already look sorted for their XI

They seem the favourites this time and that moin isnt also the coach this time so they should do well.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Peshawar pick Noor Ahmad as their first Platinum pick

Horrible

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

QG already look sorted for their XI

really? or just because of Amir?

 

[Galla]

They could have used the RTM card at any time…why not pick a player now and get Fakhar back later?

If only these guys could think

 

[Rana]

Some dreadful picks

Willey
Pollard
Noor Ahmed

Why do PCB announce these big lists when the picks are going to be so low class?

 

[RidiculousMan]

They could have used the RTM card at any time…why not pick a player now and get Fakhar back later?

Because too many things are already decided on the back end.

 

[Galla]

Horrible

Atleast better than uncle pollard.

 

[Rana]

Multan better get their act together in the other categories

They’ve wasted 2 platinum spots on 2 average players

 

[Rana]

Because too many things are already decided on the back end.

They could have just picked FZ in the supplementary picks

 

[Major]

Some very stupid picks being made from teams.

I think some backhand deal was made not to pick Fakhar

 

[Muhammad Saad]

Where are the stars? This year PSL viewership going to be badly affected.

 

[Firebat]

Lahore take Rassie van der Dussen

Good pick

 

[Rana]

Class pick

RVD

 

[Major]

Why would KK go for pollard.

Only PZ madea good pick which is Noor Ahmad.

I get it why no one went after FZ as RTM would had been invoked by LQ

 

[Rana]

surprised IU have not used RTM for Rassie

 

[Rana]

Aqib Cheetah

 

[Firebat]

Islamabad's first pick is Jordan Cox as a wildcard

 

[Sher Khan]

Same old boring names being picked again and again

 

[Major]

surprised IU have not used RTM for Rassie

Unless they have a better a player in mind, maybe a dumb move by them.

I think they might use RTM for Asif Ali or Farooqi

 

[Rana]

Naseem the Besharam unavailable for Pakistan in the World Cup but is sitting there with his new franchise

 

[Major]

Islamabad's first pick is Jordan Cox as a wildcard

explain wild card, what is that

 

[Rana]

Islamabad's first pick is Jordan Cox as a wildcard

Mike Hesson pick

 

[Firebat]

Karachi's 2nd Platinum pick is Daniel Sams

 

[Galla]

only hesson seems like a proper coach rest are all laloos.Watoo seemed like a good thinker with his commentary in the World cup but its his first job so lets see how he goes.

 

[Rana]

Astaghfirullah

Daniel Sams lol

 

[Rana]

Thank God Amir and Imad two of my boys left this titanic Karachi Kings

This haider Azhar jahaaz is here to completely destroy them

 

[Major]

KK gets mohammad nawaz

 

[PakEngFan]

This is the worst Psl draft by a mile so far. Picking literally dometic level players in that case should just pick players from our domestic set up. Can't be much worse than some of the players selected so far.

 

[amvbfm]

Some very stupid picks being made from teams.

I think some backhand deal was made not to pick Fakhar

Exactly. Fakhar is an absolute no brainer first pick on Pakistani wickets unless there is some unspoken agreement.

 

[Firebat]

Last pick of the Platinum round - Karachi take Mohammad Nawaz
