5 foreign players who will play for the 1st time in PSL

The 6th season of the Pakistan Super League is set to resume this month in UAE. The tournament started back in February this year. However, the 6th season of PSL had to be suspended midway on account of the rising COVID-19 cases in Pakistan. Overseas players have formed an important part of the Pakistan Super League. That said, here are 5 overseas players who will play in the PSL for the 1st time:

⦁ Martin Guptill

The New Zealand opener is not part of the NZ squad for the Test matches in England. Hence, Guptill is now available and will represent Karachi Kings in the 6th season of the PSL. Martin Guptill will bring a lot of experience to the Karachi Kings team. In 271 matches in his T20I career, Guptill racked up a total of 7500 runs for New Zealand.

⦁ Usman Khawaja

South African opener Usman Khawaja will represent Islamabad United in the 6th season of the PSL. In 98 T20I matches in his career, Usman Khawaja racked up a total of 2632 runs for South Africa. Islamabad United will definitely benefit from the signing of an experienced player like Khawaja.

⦁ James Faulkner
