"I told him [Imad Wasim] he must go easy on me and not make me run so much. Otherwise, he will do twice as much in the next PSL," Gibbs said in a recent interview.

Former South African cricketer is excited to step on the cricket field as a player again.

"It was a lovely opportunity by the KPL. The whole tournament structure, the draft. I am bloody excited. I hadn't strapped the pads for a while so I thought why not?" he said.

Gibbs was astounded by the beauty of Kashmir and compared it to Switzerland.

"The scenery here is absolutely fantastic," said Gibbs. "I don't know if you've been to Switzerland but it's very similar to there," he added.
