Meet the Overseas Players of Islamabad, Karachi, & Lahore in PSL 2024

Meet the Overseas Players of Islamabad, Karachi, & Lahore in PSL 2024

The excitement is building as Pakistan gears up for another thrilling edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), set to kick off on February 17 and run through March 18. With matches spread across four venues in Karachi, Lahore, Multan, and Rawalpindi, cricket enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the clash of titans among the six formidable teams – Lahore Qalandars, Quetta Gladiators, Islamabad United, Multan Sultans, Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi.

 

As the teams prepare to battle it out on the field, let’s take a closer look at the overseas players who will be making a significant impact on PSL 2024.

Before delving into the overseas player roster, it’s essential to acknowledge the challenges some teams are facing. Islamabad United and Lahore Qalandars, with two PSL titles each, are entering the tournament with notable absences. Injuries have ruled out key players Tom Curran (Islamabad) and Rashid Khan (Lahore), leaving their teams to navigate the competition without their star performers.

 

Peshawar Zalmi, on the other hand, is grappling with multiple setbacks. Noor Ahmad and Gus Atkinson are unavailable due to international commitments, while Lungi Ngidi’s NOC from Cricket South Africa has been delayed. Despite these challenges, Peshawar has made a strategic replacement by bringing in West Indian pace sensation Shamar Joseph in place of Atkinson.
