Another exciting season of the Pakistan Super League is about to begin. The franchises are gearing up to fight for the title and fans are ready to witness a riveting action of cricket. Considering this is a T20 World Cup year every player will be tracked with utmost interest. In this article, we will take a look at the top 3 players to watch out for in the PSL this season.
1. Babar Azam
The former Pakistan skipper had to feature in this list although not for positive reasons. After a shambolic campaign in the ODI World Cup in India, he had to step down as the captain in all formats of the game. The Pakistan talisman is going through a rough phase and his post-captaincy period has also not started on a good note. He has experienced batting failures in the recent tours to New Zealand and Australia which makes this PSL season very crucial for him. He would be desperate to get back into form and ensure his name in the T20 World Cup squad.
2. Shaheen Shah Afridi
We talked about the former Pakistan captain and how we can look beyond the current captain Shaheen Shah Afridi as the second name on this list. Shaheen has been entrusted with the leadership responsibilities of the Pakistan T20I team at a very crucial juncture as this is a T20 World Cup year. His recent captaincy ventures have failed as Pakistan recently got battered by New Zealand in the T20I series. Just like Babar Azam, this PSL season will be a shot at redemption for the Pakistan skipper as well, can he grab this opportunity?
3. Saim Ayub
The young promising left-hander, Saim Ayub, broke into the Pakistan team recently with his impressive performances in domestic cricket and the previous season of PSL. Not just in his country but he has also made headlines with notable performances in other franchise leagues across the globe as well and these consistent batting heroics got him into the national team. Now, there is a real scramble for every slot in the T20 World Cup squad for Pakistan, and with the race for selection heating up, all eyes will be on Saim Ayub’s performance in this PSL season.
