Along with him, key players including Andrew Gous, Colin Munro, Imad Wasim, and the best finisher, Jason Holder, are also included. These players are now part of Islamabad United’s squad and will be seen playing in PSL 11.

2- Karachi Kings Squad

Karachi Kings changed their captain during the PSL season and appointed David Warner as captain, which proved to be a good decision. As a result, Karachi Kings were seen in third position on the points table in the PSL.

This year as well, Karachi Kings have included good batsmen and good players in their squad. At the top is their top performer and captain David Warner. After that is Irfan Khan Niazi, who has proven to be a good finisher. Then comes James Vince, who has consistently helped Karachi Kings put up good scores.

Lahore Qalandars, who have been PSL 10 champions and are the defending champions of PSL 11 this time, have revealed their squad for PSL 11. Lahore’s successful captain, Shaheen Shah Afridi will continue to lead the side this season as well.

Along with him, Lahore Qalandars have retained dangerous batsmen such as Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Naeem, Kusal Perera, and Sikandar Raza and included them in their squad. If we talk about the bowling unit, Haris Rauf and Rishad Hossain will also remain part of the Lahore Qalandars squad this season and will be seen playing.

4- Multan Sultans Squad

The previous season did not prove to be good for Multan Sultans. Multan Sultans captain Mohammad Rizwan was seen struggling a lot, but he performed well for his team. This year, we will see many changes, with the most changes expected in the middle-order batsmen, which will be announced very soon.

If we talk about retention, Multan Sultans have retained Mohammad Rizwan, Shai Hope, and Tayyab Tahir, who will be seen playing for Multan this year.

6- Peshawar Zalmi Squad

Peshawar Zalmi’s PSL 11 squad has come into the public eye. This year as well, Babar Azam will handle the captaincy of Peshawar Zalmi. Despite last season not going well, Peshawar Zalmi management has shown trust in Babar Azam and their players and has retained most of them.

These include Babar Azam along with dangerous batsmen such as Saib Ayub and Tom Kohler-Cadmore. Along with this, if we talk about the bowling end, Alzarri Joseph, Mohammad Ali, and Luke Wood have so far become part of Peshawar Zalmi’s squad for PSL 11.

Now, let’s see how this team performs in PSL Season 11 compared to the other teams. Babar Azam will once again captain Peshawar Zalmi this year, and he will give his best to win the title.

7- Faisalabad Squad

The Faisalabad cricket team has become a new PSL franchise, and we will see it playing in PSL 11. The people of Faisalabad want to know which players will be in the Faisalabad team squad and which big players will be seen playing for Faisalabad.

A little time has passed since the Faisalabad team was announced. In the coming days, the owner of the Faisalabad team will be revealed, after which the captain will be selected. As soon as the PSL 11 draft is announced, we will have the complete Faisalabad team squad. Before that, the Faisalabad team squad could not appear publicly.

The biggest reason for this is that this is a new team and no player is part of this team yet. This team will be completed only through drafting.

One thing to remember is that we will see many big names in this team and this team will also pull many big players from other teams and make them part of the Faisalabad team.

Local Players and Renewal Category Announced

The PCB has announced the local players category renewals for PSL 11, categorizing them into five tiers:

1. Platinum

4. Silver
5. Emerging

Only 13 players have been included in the Platinum category, earning the highest pay from their respective teams.

As for the Diamond and Silver categories, 16 players have been listed, while 30 players are part of the Gold category. The Emerging category primarily includes new talent, allowing young players to showcase their skills and climb to higher tiers in future PSL seasons.

So far, no announcement has been made about the foreign players. It is expected that the names of foreign players selected during the PSL 11 draft will be revealed soon. Local player squads for all teams have been announced, while the remaining players will be selected through the PSL draft process.

There is a high likelihood that big names such as David Warner and Kane Williamson might be directly signed by franchises for significant amounts outside the draft. Fans are eagerly waiting to see which players will join which teams and in which category for this year’s PSL.
