The back-to-back Pakistan Super League (PSL) champions Lahore Qalandars have assembled a well-rounded squad for PSL 9, aiming to secure a historic three-peat. Led by captain Shaheen Afridi, Lahore boasts both youth and experience across all player categories.
In the Platinum category, Afridi is supported by hard-hitting opener Fakhar Zaman and South African batting star Rassie van der Dussen. The pace attack features Haris Rauf alongside all-rounders David Wiese and Sikandar Raza. Wicketkeeper-batter Sahibzada Farhan offers further depth.
Despite the potential absence of Rashid Khan due to injury, Lahore has promising young talents in Zaman Khan and Abdullah Shafique. England’s Dan Lawrence and Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza are also valuable additions. Supplementary picks Shai Hope and Kamran Ghulam provide more options.
With a balanced squad blending emerging and established players, Lahore Qalandars seem poised to create PSL history with three consecutive title wins. Their versatile team composition could prove difficult for opponents to overcome this season.
