Karachi Kings are set to embark on a new chapter in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) with a freshly revamped squad for the upcoming 9th season. Under the leadership of Shan Masood, the team has strategically overhauled its lineup, blending seasoned players with emerging talents to inject fresh energy into the side.
At the forefront of the Platinum category, the Kings have secured the explosive West Indian batsman Kieron Pollard, Australian all-rounder Daniel Sams, and the versatile Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Nawaz.
In the Diamond category, the Kings boast a diverse skill set with English batsman James Vince, Pakistani pace bowler Hasan Ali, and New Zealand’s wicketkeeper-batsman Tim Seifert. Their expertise is anticipated to be pivotal in the team’s quest for success this season.
The Gold picks include the experienced Shan Masood, who will not only play but also captain the side. He is joined by mentor Shoaib Malik, whose guidance will be invaluable, and South African spinner Tabraiz Shamsi, known for his spin wizardry.
The Silver category introduces a balanced mix of youth and experience with players like Mir Hamza, Mohammad Akhlaq, Arafat Minhas, Anwar Ali, and Mohammad Amir Khan. These individuals are set to contribute significantly to the team’s depth.
Emerging talents Irfan Khan Niazi and Sirajuddin are poised to make their mark, while the supplementary picks, U-19 captain Saad Baig and English pacer Jamie Overton, add further depth, offering additional strategic options for the team.
