Ahmad Shahzad, Pakistan’s opening batter, revealed he’s in talks with a couple of franchises ahead of the upcoming eighth season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), which is scheduled to take place in February-March 2023.
“I am in talks with a couple of franchises. As a player, I can’t force anyone to pick me, but if a player brings value to the team, they should go for him,” Shahzad shared in an exclusive conversation with Geo Super Wednesday.
The hard-hitting batsman is expected to be picked by the Sarfaraz Ahmed-led Quetta Gladiators for PSL 2023. Shahzad missed the league’s seventh season due to an injury.
Meanwhile, big international names have been picked by the franchises. South Africa’s David Miller has been picked by Multan Sultans, Peshawar picked Wanindu Hasaranga, Karachi Kings picked Matthew Wade, Islamabad United went for Alex Hales and Quetta Gladiators picked Jason Roy and Jimmy Neesham. Kieron Pollard and Rassie van der Dussen have also been picked for the eighth season.
Earlier, Hafeez and Kamran had ended their journeys with their respected teams.
