Rehan Azhar has completely wrecked Karachi Kings.

Apparently, Islamabad United, because I can't see any clutch player in their squad in comparison to other teams. I reckon they will end up at the bottom of the table.

They will do the same as last year
Make the play offs and be the first to be knocked out

They were the cockiest and most arrogant during the draft. They feel like they have a squad on Mumbai Indian’s level
Islamabad doesnt learn from its mistakes.
The 2 psls they won were not under Shadab but under Misbah. And when Misbah's team was playing things were good.
Shadab is interested in selecting friends, than he also doesnt want any other spinner that can take away his spot in the national team by performance. We saw three spinners wasted at Islamabad United (Mubasir, Zafar Gohar and Abrar), and Shadab even traded for Imad only after Imad announced international retirement, thus making Shadab feel secure.
They kept Asif Ali and gave away iftikhar and this season they also gave away Asif now.
During this draft, they had the option of getting Muhammad Zeeshan, but for some odd reason, they decided to go with that Shah brothers.....

They picked 2 good spinners
Spinners are the key. Noor Ahmed and Mehran Mumtaz are good picks.

Also Mohammad Harris was quite influential in their picks for this year.
I think, I could be wrong but I think it was a master stroke by PZ to have him there…this guy knows EVERY player and their potential in the Pakistan domestic set up…remember there are 20 odd teams/squads.
Harris did these guys a big favour with the Mehran Mumtaz pick and also the leggie from Karachi who was the leading wicket taker in the Pakistan cup this year.
That’s 3 good spinners: Noor, Mehran and Arif Yaqoob

That won’t be their team. You can bookmark this.
Hendricks will open with Rizwan
Iftikhar will bat at 4
Usama Mir will be their key spinner
Ihsanullah most likely will not play in this year’s PSL

Hendricks and Malan are two very risky picks
They might be called back by their boards to play international cricket if it’s going on at the time, or will ask them to sit out with the World Cup looming.

Karachi Kings have the weakest squad! I have no idea how they will field their Playing XI. How can a team pick 2 platinum players and struggle to put them in the playing XI? They have wasted one Platinum pick.

Karachi squad is very very poor. These guys have tarnished the name of an iconic cricketing city with their shenanigans.

Mehran Mumtaz is a supplementary pick so he cant be in playing eleven unless someone else is unavailable

I think Karachi is more focused this year in clearing there image of all the toxicity. its the only team which had no core players to start with. We could cut them some slack given they are looking to rebuild. The focus more is to now create a core and target the long term.
When trading Imad, they would have done better to get a Hales/ Azam Khan rather than Hasan Ali. I think this was a trick missed. A few other good local picks ahead of Sirajuddin and Amir may have helped.
I wouldnt still write off this squad as they do have some key players and Shan at the helm. I think they will find ways of winning if the right combination plays.

It seems like Karachi Kings do not want to compete in this event anymore, they are just trying to hold their budget by not spending on expensive picks.
Winning the tournament is not their priority!

Karachi Kings squad looks weakest on paper. I don't understand why they picked Kieron Pollard when they has plenty of better options than him to choose. If they only went for experience then they already have good enough experience in the shape of Shoaib Malik.
