PSL Season 11 Potential Retention Thoughts?

[RidiculousMan]

Reports are that 2 more teams will be added and current 6 teams will be allowed to retain upto 3 players - though they are fighting to retain 5.

If only 3 players are allowed to be retained. Who should each team retain?

 

[Rana]

I’ll do 1 each Pakistani retention first

1. Nawaz (qg)
2. Saim (PZ)
3. Sahibzada (IU)
4. Shaheen (LQ)
5. Khushdil (KK)
6. Yasir Khan (MS)

That’s the best Pakistan players in each team who they most certainly will retain.

Top 2 players in each team

Quetta: Abrar
Lahore: Naeem
Karachi: Hasan Ali
Multan: Shahid Aziz/Ubaid Shah
Islamabad: Shadab Khan
Peshawar: Ali Raza/Muqeem

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Quetta: Hassan Nawaz
Lahore: Sikandar Raza and Naeem
Peshawar: Muqeem
Islamabad: Salman Agha and Holder
Karachi: David Warner, Vince

LQ should remain almost unchanged in my opinion. They had a very balanced side.

 

[Barragan]

LQ: Shaheen, Fakhar and Naeem
KK: Warner, Vince and Khusdil
PZ: Babar, Saim and M. Haris/Ali Raza
IU: Salman, Shadab and Farhan
QG: Hasan, Abrar and Finn/Roussouw

Babar maybe controversial, but he can still play as a batsman and that too at 3

Just get rid of him from captaincy

 

[cricfan432]

KK:Warner, Niazi and khushdil.
LQ:Shaheen, Fakhar and Naeem/Shafique.
QG:Hasan nawaz, Abrar and Rossouw.
PZ:Saim ayub, Haris and Maaz/Ali raza.
IU:Farhan,Shadab, Agha.
MS:Yasir,Ubaid, and Jahanzaib.

It should be 5 retentions to retain some continuity and identity.

 

[cricfan432]

KK:Warner, Niazi and khushdil.
LQ:Shaheen, Fakhar and Naeem/Shafique.
QG:Hasan nawaz, Abrar and Rossouw.
PZ:Saim ayub, Haris and Maaz/Ali raza.
IU:Farhan,Shadab, Agha.
MS:Yasir,Ubaid, and Jahanzaib.

Proud to say finally pakistan is producing some batting talent suited to modern day cricket.

Unless PSL is shifting back to its Feb window. Retaining foreigners is a big risk because their commitment can dwindle if they get picked for IPL.

Even then rarely a foreigner sticks for many years to one franchise.

I think going for younger players and your long-term captain is a better option for retention. Something like this;

KK: Niazi, Hasan and Khushdil
LQ: Afridi, Abdullah and Fakhar
QG: Hassan, Abrar and Nafay
PZ: Saim, Haris and Babar
IU: Shadab, Salman and Farhan
MS: Yasir, Rizwan and Ubaid

5 basically means your core is there. Do you want that to happen? Or would it be better to spice things up?

The core needs to be there unless the franchises want to start afresh
