Karachi Kings Team 2018

After a few really disappointing seasons, the Karachi Kings will want to do a lot better in this third season of the Pakistan Super League.

They made some interesting choices regarding the retention of players from the previous season. Leaving Chris Gayle, they managed to keep Pakistani Usman Khan and Usama Mir even as Ravi Bopara gets another shot. Its dibbly-dobbly medium-pacers could be useful on slow and slow surfaces.

The team will be led by Imad Wasim and will also have Babar Azam and Mohammad Amir in their lineup, making them a highly dependent team of their Pakistani players for a good performance in the third PSL season. Wasim is one of the biggest stars to come in this format of the game.

In a very interesting news, the legendary Shahid Afridi decided to join the Kings of Peshawar Zalmis and Mohammad Rizwan was traded against Sohail Khan of Lahore Qalandars. Of course, that meant they could target strangers during the PSL draft and their Platinum pick was Colin Ingram. It was followed by Mitchell Johnson's diamond pick and a round of gold selection of smashing opener Luke Wright for the side.

David Wiese, Tabish Khan and Mohammad Irfan Jnr are among the others who will participate this season. and Hasan Mohsin while additional players are Colin Munro, Eoin Morgan and Saifullah Bangash, who could be involved in a few matches.

The kings of Karachi will be backed by news that six of their seven foreign cricketers have agreed to play in Pakistan. After selecting Lendl Simmons, Colin Ingram, Joe Denly, Ravi Bopara, David Wiese, Tymal Mills and Eoin Morgan as foreign players, the top six names on the list have all said they would be ready to play in the PSL for these games which will be played in Pakistan too.

The only player who will leave the competition early will be English captain Eoin Morgan. Morgan will not stay on the team for as long as the PSL finals, during which matches will be played in Karachi and Lahore.

The group was bought by Anyman Group owned by Salman Iqbal for a whopping $ 2.4 million. They named former South African international coach Mickey Arthur as director while Mushtaq Ahmed, Pakistan's former legs coach, will be his assistant and bowling coach.
