Two Big Direct Signings as Peshawar Zalmi Makes a Controversial Change

Two Big Direct Signings Shake Up PSL 11 as Teams Strengthen Squads

The Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11 is heating up, and teams are making bold moves with big direct signings ahead of the new season. All eyes were on Quetta Gladiators, who recently announced the direct signing of young Australian fast bowler Spencer Johnson. The franchise had teased the signing earlier, and now it has been officially declared, signaling Quetta’s intent to bolster their pace attack for the upcoming tournament.

Peshawar Zalmi Makes a Controversial Change

Meanwhile, Peshawar Zalmi created a buzz with another significant signing. A few days ago, the franchise had directly signed Rehmanullah Gurbaz, but the move sparked criticism from fans, especially after national teammate Naveen Ul Haq called it “hypocrisy” in a tweet. The controversy intensified when Gurbaz announced he would be unavailable after the World Cup due to personal commitments, leaving Zalmi in need of a replacement.

In response, Peshawar Zalmi signed Australian all-rounder Aaron Hardie to fill the gap. The signing is expected to add depth to the squad, providing both batting and bowling options in the T20 format.

Management Shake-Up at Peshawar Zalmi

Zalmi didn’t stop at player signings; they also made key developments in team management ahead of PSL 11. Former Pakistan skipper Misbah Ul Haq has been appointed as batting coach, while Azhar Mehmood will serve as assistant and bowling coach, and Ottis Gibson has been brought in as the head coach. These changes are aimed at strengthening the team structure and ensuring strategic depth for the season.

Looking Ahead

With Quetta Gladiators signing a rising pace star and Peshawar Zalmi revamping both players and management, PSL 11 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive editions yet. Fans are eagerly watching to see how these signings will perform on the field and whether the new management setups can lead the teams to glory.

The race for PSL 11 supremacy is officially on, and these bold moves have already set the stage for a thrilling season. 🔥🏏
