The Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Karachi Kings have named Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim as the team’s captain for the fourth edition.

Franchise owner Salman Iqbal announced the decision through his official Twitter account. Wasim has already led the side during the third edition last year.

Iqbal added that South Africa’s middle-order batsman Colin Ingram will be his deputy during the next season.

“I am happy to announce that the management team of Karachi Kings has decided that Imad Wasim will lead the team as captain and Colin Ingram will be his vice-captain. Best of luck to both of them,” said Iqbal.
