[Salman.]

Tabish Khan finally gets his chance. Would've loved to see Sadaf too.[DOUBLEPOST=1510491669][/DOUBLEPOST]

Rahat? Really? Imran Khan Jr. would've been a better pick

Not really. Rahat is more pacy and better than IK.[DOUBLEPOST=1510491702][/DOUBLEPOST]LQ have formed a great young side.

Fabulous news. If we can excite the Indian media we could be looking at larger audiences, more attraction and better endorsements. Lets hope for a positive response.

Those who don't play Tests for SA (e.g. Imran Tahir) will be available after February 24 (PSL start February 23).

Multan clearly the weakest side, needed some more ARs, but they were disadvantaged by having the last pick in each round.

Quetta have a shambolic bowling attack, Multan have way too many quicks and need a good spinning AR. Lahore could do with an extra batsman. Peshawar, Karachi and Islamabad are perfectly balanced. Maybe Peshawar could play an emerging batsman in place of Gul.

According to a PCB official, 85% of overseas players have accepted to play in Pakistan

Great. We'll be invincibles.

Play for Pakistan or Play in Pakistan ?

Play for Pakistan or Play in Pakistan ?

In Pakistan

KP will be a big deal for Quetta if he agrees to come. I reckon if he gets ready to come in Pakistan then so do every overseas player of Quetta...

 

[Ahmad94]

Massively interested in the level of quality players in the XI for all sides.

The only really big player missing would be AB De Villiers.

So excited for the games to start!!
