The HBL PSL-9 edition is around the corner with some of the leading stars of limited-overs cricket racing to light up cricket grounds in Pakistan.
With a new coach and captain, Karachi Kings enter HBL PSL 9 with oodles of optimism and they’ll show faith in their local talent as well as global star power to rebound. Karachi Kings will get their campaign underway on Feb 18 against Multan Sultans at the picturesque Multan Cricket Stadium.
They’ve snapped up West Indies superstar Kieron Pollard in their squad who will try to swing their fortunes with his all-round capabilities. They have also secured the services of Australia all-rounder Daniel Sams as well as retained seasoned campaigner Shoaib Malik. Pace bowling is further stacked with Mir Hamza and Anwar Ali who will provide squad depth given their vast domestic experience and international exposure as well. Karachi Kings managed to bag only three wins in the 2023 season and despite having the firepower in their ranks to spring more surprises, they could not coalesce as a unit. The team’s ethos includes resilience and a fighting spirit, and they’ll be aiming to rejuvenate this season and give Karachi fans a lot to cheer about.
