PSL Player Draft 2024 - Discussion and updates

[Rana]

Imagine this is your platinum trios:

Rizwan
Iftikhar
Willey

Nawaz
Sams
Pollard


My days. What a joke

 

[Firebat]

The Platinum picks:

Multan - David Willey
Karachi - Kieron Pollard, Daniel Sams, Mohammad Nawaz
Quetta - Sherfane Rutherford, Mohammad Amir
Peshawar - Noor Ahmad
Lahore - Fakhar Zaman, Rassie van der Dussen
Islamabad - Jordan Cox

 

[Rana]

Shaheen
Fakhar
RVD

That’s a proper platinum trio. 3 world class cricketers

 

[Major]

LQ won the plantinum round, and Islamabad comes second, with PZ third.

Rubbish from Multan, KK and QG who had better options up for grabs

 

[Major]

Shaheen
Fakhar
RVD

That’s a proper platinum trio. 3 world class cricketers

jordan cox is the next big thing in t20 cricket.

 

[Rana]

QG looking the strongest so far

 

[Major]

QG looking the strongest so far

cause they picked that ex fixer?

 

[Rana]

IU need to be very careful with Hesson. He doesn’t have or will not have sufficient knowledge of the local talent.

Do not trust him blindly

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Why is Malan not picked?

 

[Rana]

jordan cox is the next big thing in t20 cricket.

But his numbers look promising. So good pick I suppose

 

[Rana]

cause they picked that ex fixer?

Don't be salty

Their players right now look very good

Russow
Rutherford
Hasaranga
Roy
Smeed
Wasim Jr
Amir
Abrar

That’s already a serious core group of players

 

[Rana]

Big Money Amir

 

[Major]

MS pick Dawid Malan

 

[Firebat]

No Malan, Duckett, Neesham, Kusal Mendis, Gurbaz etc

 

[Rana]

Why is Malan not picked?

Probably not fully available

 

[Firebat]

No Malan, Duckett, Neesham, Kusal Mendis, Gurbaz etc

Lol nevermind! Multan take Malan

 

[RidiculousMan]

Why is Malan not picked?

Wish granted!

 

[Rana]

No Malan, Duckett, Neesham, Kusal Mendis, Gurbaz etc

Must be limited availability

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Excellent pick from Multan. cha gaye..

 

[Rana]

First proper pick by MS

Some reprieve

 

[Major]

PZ gets asif ali

 

[Firebat]

Peshawar take Asif Ali as their Diamond pick

 

[Rana]

Ufff My Captain!!!!

 

[Major]

Shadab seems to be excited, about to make pick here

 

[Firebat]

Must be limited availability

If Noor has been picked and Farooqi perhaps to come, not sure why Gurbaz would be unavailable.

 

[Rana]

Zindabad pick

Zalmi Fire!!!

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Terrible from Peshawar Asif Ali DD

 

[Major]

Babar is an Asif Ali fan btw.. Damnnnn never knew this.

 

[Rana]

This is hotting up now like the Royal Rumble entries!!

 

[Firebat]

IU's Diamond pick - Tymal Mills

 

[Major]

IU went with tymal mills.

terrible pick

 

[Rana]

Asif Ali is a contract hitman for franchise trophies

Next assignment is for Peshawar Zalmi!

 

[Major]

This is hotting up now like the Royal Rumble entries!!

um no its not. Its pretty boring with some very boring international picks

 

[Rana]

Did Shadab say Tymal Mills?

 

[Rana]

Two crocks in IU

Naseem and Mills

They will at some point have to use Azam Khan to bowl for them

 

[Kashmiri_Pak_fan]

How is rashid khan in silver category? Can anyone pls confirm.

 

[Major]

KK picks tim seifert. Good pick

 

[Rana]

Good pick by KK

Siefert is better than every wicket keeper batsman in Pakistan

 

[Rana]

Haider Jahaaz picks a decent player for once

 

[RidiculousMan]

Asif Ali is a contract hitman for franchise trophies

Next assignment is for Peshawar Zalmi!

He may not be a great Int Player but good enough in franchise cricket.

 

[FearlessRoar]

How is rashid khan in silver category? Can anyone pls confirm.

Fazalhaq Farooqi and Noor Ahmad are platinum, and Rahid Khan is silver. Beyond my understanding.

 

[Firebat]

Asif Ali is a contract hitman for franchise trophies

Next assignment is for Peshawar Zalmi!

A team with Babar opening and Asif in the middle order. The Rana Jekyll and Hyde team

 

[RidiculousMan]

Fazalhaq Farooqi and Noor Ahmad are platinum, and Rahid Khan is silver. Beyond my understanding.

He won't be playing. They picked him for the sake of retention right next season

 

[Firebat]

The final pick of Diamond round - LQ take Sahibzada Farhan (wildcard)

 

[Rana]

Fazalhaq Farooqi and Noor Ahmad are platinum, and Rahid Khan is silver. Beyond my understanding.

It’s all tactics

They could have retained RK in platinum but that would have been a waste because he isn’t playing this season

They downgraded his pay to silver to retain him for next year in the platinum

 

[Major]

LQ picked Sahibzada Farhan.

Thats a very good pick.

What is wild card context here?

IU should've had Farhan here

 

[Rana]

The way Aqib Cheetah said “wild card”

Ufff the tiger is awake!!

 

[RidiculousMan]

Good pick but not suitable for both Lahore and Farhan. Lahore already have 3 openers. This means that one of Abdullah, Farhan or Fakhar will not be opening the whole season!

 

[Firebat]

The Diamond round picks:

Multan - Dawid Malan
Karachi - Tim Seifert
Quetta - N/A
Peshawar - Asif Ali
Lahore - Sahibzada Farhan
Islamabad - Tymal Mills

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

S. Farhan in excellent form same as Fakhar, Lahore is becoming an excellent team again.

 

[FearlessRoar]

The final pick of Diamond round - LQ take Sahibzada Farhan (wildcard)

That's what I was waiting for. Happy for Shahibzada Farhan. He truly deserves it.

 

[Galla]

sahibzada is diamond.What is wrong with these franchises?as if anyone was gonna pick him that you made a wildcard pick for him.

 

[RidiculousMan]

LQ picked Sahibzada Farhan.

Thats a very good pick.

What is wild card context here?

IU should've had Farhan here

With wildcard a lower category player can be picked in one better category.

 

[Rana]

Oh Jahaaz Haider use your RTM for Sahibzada Farhan!!

 

[Major]

Lahore won this round in local

And Multan and Karachi won in international pick

 

[RidiculousMan]

That's what I was waiting for. Happy for Shahibzada Farhan. He truly deserves it.

Probably not a good fit in Lahore. One of Abdullah or Farhan will have to sit out or bat out of position.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Now waiting for Kamran Ghulam...He also deserves at least a Diamond category.

 

[Major]

Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman with Abdullah Shafiq at 1 down.

LQ just made the best top order

 

[FearlessRoar]

Probably not a good fit in Lahore. One of Abdullah or Farhan will have to sit out or bat out of position.

Abdullah Shafique is not an explosive batter.

 

[Rana]

Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman with Abdullah Shafiq at 1 down.

LQ just made the best top order

Oh rehnde

RVD is number 3

 

[Major]

IU has lost this draft. Some poor retentions and selections.

 

[Galla]

Now waiting for Kamran Ghulam...He also deserves at least a Diamond category.

lol have you seen his t20 record?

 

[Major]

PZ going with Afghans here, they go for Naveen ul haq

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Extremely poor pick from Peshawar

 

[RidiculousMan]

Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman with Abdullah Shafiq at 1 down.

LQ just made the best top order

Farhan and Fakhar vs Saim and Haris

Pakistan at this moment is lucky to have such T20 openers

 

[Major]

Reeza Hendricks by Multan and will be opening with Rizwan

How good is this guy?

 

[Firebat]

MS take Reeza Hendricks - good pick

 

[Galla]

Reeza hendricks should jump from a roof tbh.He is in gold while a dud like pollard in platinum.What is this logic?But yeah great pick for MS.

 

[Rana]

Sultan’s last 2 picks have been good

 

[RidiculousMan]

Panic or Joy in the Multan Sultans camp?

Caption this!

 

[Rana]

Thank you for picking Naveen Peshawar

Would love to smash 300 against your bowlers at Rawalpindi

 

[Firebat]

Reeza Hendricks by Multan and will be opening with Rizwan

How good is this guy?

Very good player. Just hit 49 from 27 in 2nd T20 against India yesterday. Outperformed Bavuma in the WC when he came in for him

 

[Rana]

Reeza Hendricks by Multan and will be opening with Rizwan

How good is this guy?

Twice the player Rizwan is

 

[Firebat]

Gold picks:

Multan - Reeza Hendricks, Reece Topley
Karachi - N/A
Quetta - N/A
Peshawar - Naveen-ul-Haq
Lahore - N/A
Islamabad - N/A

 

[Galla]

Ironically MS gold players are better than their platinum ones

 

[Rana]

Reece 2 out of 10 matches Topley

 

[Firebat]

Multan's top order looking solid - Hendricks, Rizwan, Malan

 

[Sports_Psychologist]

Reese Topley a good pick, no doubt.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Very good player. Just hit 49 from 27 in 2nd T20 against India yesterday. Outperformed Bavuma in the WC when he came in for him

He should be opening for South Africa in white ball but unfortunately Bavuma has to play

 

[Rana]

Salman IQBAL sounds like a broken man

He isn’t happy with the changes his management team have asked him to make
